Oh, I see.  It's a bit strange that the first page of a manual tells
users to change default values.  I don't see exactly how nil and dwim
for TeX-master differ.  I have dwim, and when I create a new tex file
I'm also queried for the master file.

BTW: the dwim value isn't documented in the manual.
