"The" reason why I don't go that route is that I don't understand how to do
it, i.e. how to modify, or add, commands through customize.  Further more I
don't produce pdf directly, I go the latex ---> dvips ---> ps2pdf route.
Hence the dvi and ps files are already in the directory.  In fact I mostly
use .ps outputs but for this particular project, a presentation using
powerdot, GSView and/or Ghostscript don't like the postscript file, they
tell me it is not a valid postscript file but, once converted to pdf,
acroread has no problem with it.  I use acroread because xpdf is not
installed on the machine I use and I am not the admin.

I ended up using the following:

(eval-after-load "tex"
  '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
            '("Acroread" "acroread %s.pdf" TeX-run-command t t) t))
 (global-set-key [(control f4)] 'do-Acroread)
 (defun do-Acroread ()
    "Start acroread PDF viewer on the curent file."
    (interactive)
    (TeX-command "Acroread" 'TeX-master-file))

It works fine.  If it could be improved I am very open to suggestions.
