Is XEmacs 19.15 in Debian 1.3? I am using the unstable distribution and
it comes with XEmacs 19.15. AUC TeX is included with 19.15, but I am not
sure about 19.14. Try the command
locate auctex
and see if you find the AUCTeX files with XEmacs. I found a bunch of them
in '/usr/lib/xemacs-19.15/lisp/auctex'.
However, I had the same problem as yours when I first used XEmacs. For
some reason, it loaded the old TeX mode by default. I had to add the
'50tex-site.el' file in '/etc/xemacs/site-start-19.d' to make it load AUC
TeX by default. Try the following:
# cd /usr/xemacs/site-start-19.d
# ln -s /usr/lib/xemacs-19.15/lisp/auctex/tex-site.el 50tex-site.el
(Of course, in your case, you would probably use
'/usr/lib/xemacs-19.14/lisp/auctex/tex-site.el' instead. :)
Since I know little about Emacs, it took me a while to figure out how to
do it. It wasn't until I found the file
'/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50tex-site.el' from GNU Emacs that I found out I
could do the same with XEmacs to make AUC TeX work in XEmacs also. :)

Hey, this is not a trivial question! :) I had that very same problem and
it took me quite a while to figure out what was going on. :) So don't
apologize, because this is what this list is all about! :)
