Sorry once again for not being able to respond more quickly to the
help offered. I've just been buried. Returning to it once again ...

Somewhere in the documentation for that variable it tells you it
gets
the expansions for those strings from `TeX-expand-list',
Okay, I know enough to put that into a buffer and eval-print. Lots of
stuff in there. So played around with some things. Getting close but
no cigar ... see below.
function, I found one that actually refers to the names and options
of
system viewer commands.
My first guess is to replace "%V" with "open %d".
Very close. What that does is give me:
open filename.dvi
But what I want is
open filename.pdf
%d is close enough that at least all I have to do is backspace over
dvi and substitute pdf. It doesn't stick, though. Got to do that every
time.
Couldn't determine it from fooling around with either M-x
customize-variable TeX-command-list or tweaking bits of
TeX-expand-list and resetting the whole thing with setq to test it.
Didn't work.
And suddenly now I have to get up and run off, but meanwhile ...
not always do the right thing. If it gets annoying, you may want to
customize the variable `TeX-output-view-style', I guess.
Yeah ... I blazed through that and substituted pdf for dvi wherever I
saw ^dvi$ and set it (didn't save of course). Didn't work. No time to
test it more intelligently.
The thing is, as I said in the first place, this all used to work just
fine. Then a new version of X on the Mac or a new version of the
TeX/LaTeX distro or both blew away some of my startups and I've been
suffering with it ever since.
Gotta go ...
