I am aware that on C-cC-c auto-completion already works,
but I took the habit to use that only on the "official" Entries,
not my own additions ...

Yes, I noticed appearance of C-cC-a functionality. Just allow for a
few more years so that I can teach my fingers out of C-cC-c ;-)

And in fact as already hinted above, I am (certainly a minority) of
the kind who manages bibliography entries myself manually and I never
compile any Index, because I do not write books in LaTeX but papers.

And regarding documentation of LaTeX packages, indices are mostly
useless when you have the search function of the pdf viewer, except
on rare occasion with very big documents like the LaTeX source code
where you are looking for things like "in@" perhaps.

Things is different of course for print-outs.

Indeed, as you said initially only "BibTeX" and "Index".

Off-topic:

1) Thunderbird tells me you sent the message also to my address
but somehow I do not see it arriving in my mailbox (I got the one
from Joost), and I also never got your initial answer, I only
saw it on the newsgroup.

2) why the two entries

 ("File" "%(o?)dvips %d -o %f " TeX-run-dvips t t :help "Generate PostScript 
file")
 ("Dvips" "%(o?)dvips %d -o %f " TeX-run-dvips nil t :help "Convert DVI file to 
PostScript")

I see "File" gives user a chance to modify it, but why would dvips
have such a variant but not other types of commands ?

3) just for the curious among the things I needed to add to the
TeX-command-list are entries to open in view-mode the log, aux, and
toc files, and to deactivate Flyspell there. (don't recall why)

I also needed entries for dvipng's, and for various other things

I don't need any of ChkTeX or whatever which implements this
normalization spirit of LaTeX I dislike a lot.

etc...

Best,
Jean-François
