Perhaps I'm not clearly following the thread or the bug report Ulrike 
linked to, as I am a bit confused about where the problem lies and what 
has already been solved. I have inverse search working fine with WinEdt, 
but I'm having the same problem as Yaakov when I use Emacs for inverse 
search. Like him, I am using the Emacs 22/AUCTeX 11.83 bundle. However, 
when I look at the source specials inside the DVI file I see no .tex 
extension on the file name. I have all of the latest MiKTeX updates.

So which program is misbehaving? Should the source specials have the 
.tex extension, or is the fault of Emacs for not adding the .tex 
extension implicitly? Or am I completely missing something?
