[OS X Emacs] LaTeX on Aquamacs 1.7 not working

[Anil N. Hirani]

This worked. Details below (to help any future seekers of this  
information).
As suggested, I did C-h-v and typed load-path. That brought up a  
window showing that an old installation of auctex was in the way : ~/ 
Library/Application Support/Emacs/site-lisp/auctex appeared in the  
load-path. I deleted the Emacs/ directory and when I started Aquamacs  
1.7 again with a .tex file it was opened in latex mode.

Thanks
Anil
