Ok, so if I want to use this character '•' (a bullet mark) to trigger math expression, what should I write in my .emacs file regarding the `cdlatex-math- symbol-prefix' variable? (Please help me out, I know nothing about how to write elisp). Since you mention this might be a bug with CDLaTeX, I'd like to add that pressing TAB after '-' (dash) in an itemize environment doesn't put '\item'. I believe it's an empty command.
