Hi.

I asked about getting skim to work as a default viewer from within Aquamacs.   Peter Dyballa kindly replied:

> Use texdoc! It can be configured to use a particular application for a particular file type. And it has the option --just-view to find a file in the current working directory instead of somewhere in the TeX distribution.

I don't understand the answer.  I'm not trying to configure texdoc.  I'm trying to configure the viewer that Aquamcs uses for previewing.

BTW, I tried
agw at home:fred2$ texdoc skim
texdoc info: No exact match, trying full search mode.
Sorry, no documentation found for skim.
If you are unsure about the name, try searching CTAN's TeX catalogue at
http://ctan.org/search.html#byDescription.

Looking through the texdoc manual (texdoc texdoc), I decided to try
agw at home:fred2$ texdoc --just-view
texdoc error: unknown option: --just-view

What am I missing here?   Thanks once again!
