Ivan. Hello again.

I had the above suggestion in .emacs, that is, the (add-hook
'find-file-hook #'latex-mode).

So a new file named "foo" without extension, would default to the View
command, which is not wanted. The expected behavior would be, to save the buffer
before LaTeX-command is run. 

So next to modify was tex-buf.el to

          (let ((filepath (concat path orig "" ext)))
            (if (or (file-exists-p filepath)
                    (get-file-buffer filepath))
                (setq existingoriginals (cons filepath existingoriginals)))))))
 
then

(defcustom TeX-file-extensions '("") 

So it would prompt to save it, before LaTeX-command is run, which
successfully does, but takes me back to the behavior I mentioned
earlier, the "error occurred after..."

Of course, if only an extension is specified in tex.el, then everything is 
fine. 

(defcustom TeX-file-extensions '("" "tex" "abc" "xyz" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" 
"txi" "texinfo" "dtx")
  "*File extensions used by manually generated TeX files."
  :group 'TeX-file-extension
  :type '(repeat (string :format "%v")))


In the end, I wish I could trace the code to where the problem
lies. But I acknowledge this is not a problem, in the sense that an
extension for an input file is the default. Even though, if it is Not what I 
had in mind.
