Hmm... I'm not quite sure I follow you: 'texify' should be a
commandline tool, right? I do not have that available (should it ship
with AucTeX?) nor can I find such a program by a quick search on the
internet. (Only a perl script 'texify' that transforms programming
code into formatted TeX, but that's not it, I guess.)

Adding the code below to my .emacs allows me to run these commands via
C-c C-c, but doesn't do anything (it also doesn't give an error that
'texify' is not available).

Best,
Jaap
