The following used to work (in an old version of Emacs) at the end of
a LaTeX file:
%%% Local variables: %%%
%%% tex-command:"/export/home/reingold/calendar-book/third-edition/
doerrata" %%%
%%% End: %%%
But now that I have switched to Emacs 23.3, those lines no longer have
the desired effect.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

These lines should work, and work fine in my tests. The only thing
thing is that tex-command is not known to be safe to set in this way, so
when I open such a file, Emacs prompts me to know whether I do want to
apply this setting. Not sure why you don't see this prompt. Maybe you
have customized enable-local-variables?

That was the problem---I did not have enable-local-variables set to t.
Now it works--thanks!!
