This is what I use in my .bash_profile (sorry, I don't know how to
configure it for the csh), thanks to Martin Costabel a few years ago:
export TEXDOCVIEW_dvi="open -a /Applications/TeXShop.app %s"
export TEXDOCVIEW_html="open -a /Applications/Safari.app %s"
export TEXDOCVIEW_ps="open -a /Applications/TeXShop.app %s"
I think the key is TEXDOCVIEW, instead of TEXDOC.
Best,
Axel
