auctex: auctex-10.0g
emacs:20.7

1) How to get C-cC-c to accept "auctex"?
2) Any top line latex-file hints to tell auctex to change 
default Tex-command from latex to pdflatex and View from
xdvi to acroread?

C-cC-c defaults to latex. I can call all other tex.el's 
TeX-command-list commands I have tried. But when I do "pdflatex":
     Command:(default LaTeX) [No Match]
The pdflatex is in same teTeX/bin dir with latex, tex, etc. and the
env PATH has that dir. The pdflatex works from command line.

I can do C-cC-c, Other, pdflatex and that sort of works except that
the output does not go to the opened buffer and so it never indicates
if it finished or failed.

I tried copying Tex-command-list from tex.el to tex-site.el but that
did not make any detectable difference. The tex.el has never been
modified.

Any other hints to make it easier to call pdflatex and acroread on
an occasional document insted of latex and xdvi are welcome. Thanks.
