   There is a nice feature in an X-window environment. If you are TeXing a
   text in emacs using TeX-mode and its commands like `TeX-buffer', you can
   get a preview with an emacs command. You have only to set the variable
   `TeX-dvi-print-command' to "xdvi". Then C-c C-p (`TeX-print') will produce
   a preview of the current buffer.

This'll also do the job, but you don't have to keep changing
TeX-dvi-print-command

(defun TeX-xdvi()
  "Preview a TeX or LaTeX file by running /usr/.bin/X11/xdvi on the dvi file
 created with TeX-buffer or Tex-region. Only works with X windows!"
  (interactive)
  (if window-system
      (start-process "xdvi" "*xdvi*" "/usr/.bin/X11/xdvi"
		     (concat TeX-directory TeX-zap-file ".dvi"))))

(setq TeX-mode-hook
      '(lambda()
	 (define-key TeX-mode-map "\C-c\C-v" 'TeX-xdvi)))

Put these in your .emacs
