Yes.

Yes.

I suppose, because a new TeX document is generated (`_region_.tex'), 
AUCTeX asks me to set its master.  OK, here is, what `_region_.tex' 
looks like:


\message{ !name(master.tex)}\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{acronym}
\begin{document}

\message{ !name(slave.tex) !offset(-5) }
$P_Q$

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "master"
%%% End:

\message{ !name(master.tex) !offset(-8) }

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:


Can I provide more hints?

Franz.
