Hi -

Not to be an instigator or anything, but:

So does adding this to your ~/.commandict file:

TeX	X	texsis -V $file&

This adds the menu entry "TeX" with the command-key equivalent "X" to your  
Utilities->UserCommands menu in Edit.  I use TeXsis but you can change it to  
read:

TeX	X	tex -V $file&

etc...  It helps to have TeXview launched before running this - if you don't,  
you'll have to quit TeXview before you can go back and edit your document...

I don't recall who sent me this hack but I've been using it for quite a while  
and the price is right...
