That must be an old version of AUCTeX.  The current version, 11.88.8,
just warns when you use it after the \begin{document}, i.e., after the
preamble.

Well, and if you use the filecontents package which provides a similar
environment without even the preamble-restriction, AUCTeX won't issue
any warning at all.

So I'm closing this issue.

Bye,

Hello,

Thank you for AUCTeX.  I use it every day.

When I am inside a .tex file, in the preamble but after the \documentclass, and I do a control-C control-E followed by "filecontents" I get a message in the minibuffer to "Put filecontents before \documentclass".

That warning is based on incorrect documentation of the filecontents command; in fact that command can go anywhere in the preamble.

Regards,
Jim Hefferon
