[AUCTeX] Trouble with Find Documentation

[Alan Ristow]

I'm giving AUCTeX a try on my WinXP box. Currently I have installed both 
the Emacs/AUCTeX precompiled bundle and XEmacs 21.4.19 with AUCTeX 
installed from the pre-compiled ready-for-XEmacs download from the 
AUCTeX web site. Both Emacs and XEmacs are the native versions -- no 
Cygwin here. It's been a bumpy start, but both are now nominally working.

The one problem I'm having with both right now is the Find Documentation 
command. When I run it from Emacs, it prompts me for a command or 
package name. I've tried typing a number of packages that I know are 
installed on my system -- memoir, textcomp, etc. -- but it always 
responds with "Documentation not found." I've checked the value of 
TeX-Macro-Global and it contains the proper paths to my TeX installation.

When I run it from XEmacs, I get an error reading "Autoloading failed to 
define function Info-find-file." After a little googling, I get the 
impression that this particular feature is broken under XEmacs for the 
moment. Is that correct?

Could someone please shed some light on these problems? A similar 
command in WinEdt is a very important part of my workflow, so I am 
loathe to live without it. I'm not an Emacs newbie, but I'm not terribly 
experienced with it either, so please let me know if there's something 
else I need to set or check.

Thanks!

Alan
