[AUCTeX] TeX-command-list, a follow up

[gerald . jean]

Helle there,

a little while ago I posted a message regarding the use of TeX-command-list
so "ps2pdf" would be available in TeX-command-list..  Ralf helped me with
that and it is now working fine, thanks Ralf.

I also had a question regarding GhosScript.   In old versions of Auctex I
had the following in my dotemacs file and it worked:

(defun do-PSview ()
   "PSview the curent file."
   (interactive)
   (TeX-command "Print" 'TeX-master-file))

(global-set-key [(control f8)] 'do-PSview)        ; GSview the current file

The ONLY way I found to get this to work with Auctex 11.84 is to change the
TeX-print-command in tex-mik.el as follows.

(unless (get 'TeX-print-command 'saved-value)
  (setq TeX-print-command
      "gsview32 %f"))

What I don't like about this approach is that the next time I upgrade
Auctex I'll have to go back in tex-mik.el to do the change again.  My
memory isn't good enough to remember those little things, there must be a
better way?

I can also put the follwing in my dotemacs file:

(eval-after-load "tex"
  '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
                         '("GSview" "gsview32 %f" TeX-run-command t t) t))

and have the command added to the command menu BUT I don't like to use
menus when it is possible to avoid them.  Is there a way to have the best
of both worlds?

Thanks,

Gérald Jean
