Could it be that my TeXLive-Distribution was coming with a preinstalled 
Emacs? This was the version I've worked a long time with and AUCTeX was 
included. This was a quite good solution for the first time using TeX on a 
Windows PC because I have nothing to know how to do an installation of 
Emacs under Windows.

On the other hand Uwe Siart's article was quite fine although it is written 
in German and could perhaps be somehow like a reference.
