I'm kind of a newb when it comes to emacs. I know about the .emacs file but have very little idea as to do anything more advanced than elementary stuff.
Whenever I enter latex-mode, I'd also like to automatically turn on flyspell-mode, reftex-mode, auto-fill-mode, and also set fill-column to 120. How do I edit my .emacs file to do this?
Thanks!

If you want to enable/disable minor-modes on the whole session, press [e] or [d] on any minor-mode to keep its status even if you change major-modes, buffers, files. It continues until stopping emacs. This enable/disable list is stored in the global of manage-minor-mode-default .
Usually, the major mode is automatically set by Emacs, when you first visit a file or create a buffer (see Choosing File Modes). You can explicitly select a new major mode by using an M-x command.
The standard default value is fundamental-mode . If the default value is nil , then whenever Emacs creates a new buffer via a command such as C-x b ( switch-to-buffer ), the new buffer is put in the major mode of the previously current buffer.
To get a list of the all the available modes, both major and minor, on your system's version of Emacs, look up "mode" using Emacs' apropos command. Do this by pressing C-h a and entering the word mode .
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook
(function (lambda ()
(flymake-mode)
(reftex-mode)
(auto-fill-mode)
(setq fill-column 120))))
for example should work.

You can set a so-called hook to a major mode. Have a look at this page of the manual for some examples.
