well, you press C-c C-c and then you still have to select the command you
want to run. so press l and then hit TAB, it will expand to latex2pdf. then
hit ENTER.

however, i don't think your command is right. first, the %S is for the
source special options. you probably want %t, which expands to the tex
file.

i also don't think you need the ampersand. instead, you need to set the
How: options, probably to TeX-run-command. that also gives you the ability
to watch the output of your command by typing C-c C-l.
