Oh, no... XEmacs.
I got XEmacs 21.5.18 and I can't find `?|' category.

That's what I want.  But FSF Emacs doesn't have `word-across-newline'.

The meaning of category ?t is different between FSF Emacs and XEmacs.
 FSF Emacs: Korean
 XEmacs: Hangul (Korean) 2-byte character set
Sigh...

Maybe we need a new variable for Emacs21 and XEmacs.
  (defvar LaTeX-word-across-newline
    (if (boundp 'word-across-newline) word-across-newline "\\c|"))
