I can’t find this either.  However, when I open a file with the extension .tex, it opens with this identified as the major mode in the mode-line. Doing ^H-m provides this information

However, there is nothing in tex-site.el about “LaTeX/PS” mode (a search for that string yields no result).  There is also nothing about this that I can find in the AUCTeX documentation.

I can tell that my .emacs file is being read, because a number of other customizations (personal functions and their keybindings, etc.) are being stalled, and LaTeX-mode-hook is being set as I specify there.  However, that hook is not being run, presumably because whatever this mode is, it doesn’t count as “LaTeX-mode”. [I did delete the now-obsolete LaTeX-install-toolbar from the hook, but that doesn’t change anything.]

I have no idea where to look to fix this.

Years ago I spent a fair amount of time fiddling with elisp, and I have a rather elaborate .emacs file that I haven?t touched (or even looked at) in a long, long time.  But I discover that in the current version of Aquamacs, something has changed and I need to figure out how to restore that behavior I worked out long ago.
