RE: [h-e-w] problem with emacs/auctex/MikTeX: I can't find file `nonstopmodeinput{tmp.tex}

[Peter Milliken]

Well, I realise this is absolutely no help at all :-) 

But it works fine for me. I don't use Auctex so I got curious and installed
it - it worked fine 'out of the box' for me :-)

I am happy to send you my .bashrc and .emacs files to see if you can work
out what is different - I suspect it must be a path 'thing' though. The
install instructions were remarkably easy to follow etc

BTW, I have Emacs 21.3 and (re)-installed my MikTex just a couple of days
ago - my Cygwin install is also current (been tracking a problem with
tar'ing files across multiple floppy volumes so I have been updating
everything in sight :-)).
