This is a very bad idea since you will have to check if something changed in texdoc every time the TeX distribution is updated unless you don't mind missing new features and bug fixes or dealing with potential incompatibilities. In addition you lose the capability of passing the paper size to the viewer. So this is an exceptionally bad suggestion for the case at hand where a DVI viewer is being dealt with. It's not like there is no reason for all the options `TeX-output-view-style'. -- Ralf
