- I'd say this no no problem with auc-tex but with your ibmpc.el.
- On startup demacs uses ansi sequences to redefine some keys. If
- everything is installed correctly and your ibmpc.el is not corrupted
- these definitions are "undone" if you leave demacs.
- Maybe you accidently destroyed some important thing while installing
- auc-tex. (I have demacs under MSDOS 5.0 with auc-tex running without
- problems.)

- That's a known bug, it will hopefully be fixed in the next version.

- Hope I helped you a little,
