Under Linux AR doesn't lock the file, so after you have TeXed the file you can do File|Close; Go back (I think Ctrl-w, Ctrl-< (or was it Ctrl-'-'?)) Under Windows, you must do 'File|Close' -- TeX -- 'View(?)|Go back'; going back has the advantage that you will go to the same page, which you left when closing (instead of the first page with default zoom).
