... and then press an INS button to insert a new command for the
Commands menu. The place where you INSert corresponds to the position
in the menu. One of my additions is:
INS DEL Name: XeLaTeX & xdvipfmx
Command: xelatex -output-driver='xdvipdfmx -q -E' "%
(mode)\input %t"
How: *Value Menu* TeX-run-command
Create a process for NAME using COMMAND to process FILE.
*More*
Prompt: *Toggle* off (nil)
Modes: *Value Menu* Set:
[ ] Plain TeX
[X] LaTeX
[ ] DocTeX
[X] ConTeXt
[ ] Texinfo
[X] AmSTeX
Menu elements:
INS
Dvips works on "%d" and it works in Plain TeX, LaTeX, and AmSTeX. (I
don't know what DocTeX is. Maybe something medicinal ...) PS4pdf, I
think, works on LaTeX files.

You don't need to reboot, you need to change the AUCTeX viewer from
xdvi et al to texdoc.

Because you did not change the default customisation in AUCTeX, it's
still using its old defaults.

Yes, that's correct system behaviour. TeXShop has registered itself
as an application that can handle documents of type "DVI," which can
be deduced from the file's extension ".dvi." In Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger,
this mechanism runs under the acronym of UTI (Universal Type
Identifier). And because you pass the UNIX command "open" with an
argument, that is a file's name, to the system to launch it with
launchd, the Launch Service, this service finds that your system has
TeXShop registered as "handler" for DVI files. So it open the file in
TeXShop, which converts it to PDF because it cannot display DVI
content natively.

Make all viewers in AUCTeX to become texdoc. There might also be
utilities that can change the connection between DVI type and TeXShop
– but without a DVI viewer going this path makes no sense. After
you've change the customisation of AUCTeX, you can make them active
at once (on top of the *Customize* window you find these buttons.
