The idea is that you are going to compile the latex short guide, which
is an excellent introduction to LaTeX.
Unzip lshort-4.22.src.tar.gz to c:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.5\doc\guides\lshort-english\ (See the download page for the CTAN location of
this file). You might need to create the destination directory.
Open Emacs and choose Files/Open file and get the file c:\Program
Files\MiKTeX 2.5\doc\guides\lshort-english\src\lshort.tex
Press C-c C-c
<Return> to run latex. During this step, MiKTeX will
install extra packages on the fly and your attention is needed
to click "accept".
Press C-c C-c <Return>
to run View. It will take a while to create fonts etc. the first time.
Press C-c C-c FILE
<Return> <Return> to run dvips (Note that the command is FILE
and not Dvips as one might expect)
Press C-c C-c Print
<Return> <Return> to run GSview (Also somewhat
misleading name)
If you want to print the document, do it from GSview.
At this point, you might be interested in running pdflatex to produce
a pdf-file rather than a ps-file. In the buffer containing your
latex-file (here: lshort.tex), press C-c C-t C-p (this toggles auc-tex
to be in 'pdf-mode'). Then, redo the compilation above, ie. C-c C-c
a few times. You need Adobe Acrobat reader to be in your PATH
to be able to display the pdf-files (with 'view').
