Hi Andreas

Perhaps so,  but I thought the code specified that the presence of the
fontspec package should constitute the file being a XeLaTeX file and
hence C-c C-c should result in XeLaTeX as the default engine. Is this
not right? The mouse click does work. And, after one compilation with
mouse click, C-c C-c also works. Puzzling.

Or, can some change be made to the code to make it work as I want?
