Sorry for the typo - of course ESS 5.3.7.

(shell-command (concat "start \"" pdfviewer "\" \"" namestem ".pdf\"")))
works just fine for me. Thank you.
Also I've noticed that "ess-swv-latex" as opposite to "ess-swv-pdf" does
leave the *Tex-tex-output* on top of my *.Rnw file. This is because
(switch-to-buffer buf) is not included before (display-buffer tex-buf).
If is not an original intention may be that also could be changed.
Vitally.
