[AUCTeX] AUCTeX's C-c C-c Behavior

[Quinn Culver]

Hi,

I'm confused by AUCTeX's decision to select "LaTeX" or "View" when I hit C-c C-c. Usually, after I've run LaTeX, it will default to View, but sometimes not. Also, when I have Tex-pdf mode enabled, the View command sometimes runs an appropriate pdf-viewing command, but sometimes not. What determines this behavior? How can I control it?

I read Chapter 7 of the AUCTeX manual, but didn't see any detailed explanation of this.

Thanks.
