title: How do I recover the old behavior of LaTex mode in emacs?
body: <p>I have happily been using emacs's LaTeX mode for years (decades?).  Up to emacs version 24.2.1, if I type C-c C-c in a LaTeX buffer that I was editting, the following would happen:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A prompt appears in the minibuffer for me to save, which I can acknowledge by pressing y.</li>
  <li>A prompt appears in the minibuffer for me to latex the file, which I can acknowledge by pressing return.</li>
  <li>latex is run on the file in the background.  If there are no errors, a message in the minibuffer tells me so.</li>
  <li>If there are errors, I am prompted to press C-c ` to examine them.  This also (usually) takes me exactly to the the location of the error in the .tex file.</li>
  <li>Only if I press C-c C-c again without making changes to the buffer, a propmt appears in the minibuffer for me to open the .dvi in xdvi, which I can acknowledge by pressing return.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I like the above behavior.  It usually does what I want.</p>
  
  <p>In 24.3.1, if I type C-c C-c in a LaTex buffer that I am editting, this is what happens:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A prompt appears in the minibuffer for me to run xdvi.   I must type "latex" and press return.  (xdvi is already open on the file, so why would I want to open it again?)</li>
  <li>A prompt appears in the minibuffer for me to save, which I can acknowledge by pressing "y".</li>
  <li>The frame is split into two windows.  The latex command is run in a tex-shell in the bottom half.</li>
  <li>If the latex run was successful, I must manually remove the tex-shell window from the frame, since it is waste of screen real estate.</li>
  <li>If the latex run was unsuccessful, I must scroll through the tex shell buffer to see where they happened. Then I must seach the .tex manually file to find the corresponding code.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This is basically a disaster.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there some way to restore the old behavior?  </p>
  
  <p>Note: Please don't tell me to "use AUCTeX".  If I had wanted to use auctex, I would doing so by now.  </p>
