How should I change this so that when I hit "M-RET" inside a
"questions" environment, Emacs inserts "\question" and asks me "how
many points is this question worth?".  The answer should then become
a label, eg if the answer is "100" then "\question[100]" is
inserted.  Ideally the previous answer should be the default,
similarly, to what happens when the environment "proof" is inserted
for example.

A pointer to the documentation or the source code (eg in the
definitions for the environment "proof") would be great.

Thanks in acvance,
