Thanks, it worked perfectly.    I guess I still do not understand
"faces" and "autofaces".   I just ordered the "GNU Emacs Manual" by
Richard Stallman, 2007.   I need to better understand this wonderful
software application.   Actually, I just use Emacs+LaTeX+R, Firefox,
iTunes, and VLC.  That is it, and Emacs + Firefox are 95% of all my
usage.
