The XEmacs implementation which I am running appears to differ from
the implementation which you are running.
When in LaTeX mode, the first press of " produces a contiguous pair of
single left-quotes: `` and the second press of " produces a contiguous
pair of single right-quotes: ''
But this is a standard feature of Emacs/XEmacs LaTeX mode which most
of us take for granted, because in most applications printer's quotes
are desired, and pressing " at the beginning and end of the quotation
is easier than pressing ` twice and the beginning and ' twice at the
end.
