How can I do this?

I've done the following with not entirely satisfying results:


1. I opened LaTeX -> Customize AUCTex -> Brows Options
2. I pressed the button Tex Command group -> Tex Command List Show Value
3. I've replaced all occurrences of "xdvi" with "texdoc" in
Tex View Style and Tex Output View Style

Now, if I use run pdflatex (via C-c C-t C-p) on a file that does not 
depend on pstricks drawings, all goes finely, i.e. a 2nd C-c C-c invokes:

View command: texdoc -remote "present_FMCompLingUU" -raise present_FMCompLingUU.pdf

Preview opens the pdf file (which is what I wanted and put in 
the texdoc for viewing pdf files).

But, if, on a file with pstricks drawings, I use the LaTeX command 
C-c C-c (or from the menu Command -> LaTeX) latex runs;
then a 2nd C-c C-c shows:

View command: texdoc  lec2.dvi

After hitting Return TexShop opens the file converted and saved as lec2.pdf 
with all trees drawn properly, despite that I have not run what I thought 
I should have run: dvips + ps2pdf. But I think that this creates problems: 
it seems to me that Preview is unable to open dvi files. I conclude this 
because I had no occurrences at all of TexShop in the texdoc file, where I 
put what you suggested, incl for dvi files:

   Darwin)
 	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_dvi='open -a Preview %s'}
#	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_dvi='(open %s >/dev/console 2>&1 || xdvi %s &) || 
echo "Method for opening %s did not work"'}
         : ${TEXDOCVIEW_ps='open -a Preview %s'}
#	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_ps='open %s'}
 	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_pdf='open -a Preview %s'}
#	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_pdf='open %s'}
 	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_html='open %s'}
 	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_txt="open -a TextEdit.app %s"}
 	: ${TEXDOCVIEW_="open -a TextEdit.app %s"} # no extension, default 
to pager
         extlist='.pdf .ps .txt .dvi .html'
