With the changes to the files, I was able to get this
combination to work beautifully under Windows 2000. I'm
an utter novice with Emacs & ESS, but figured that since I
wanted some "scripting" capabilities for R like those built
into S-Plus 2000 (& 6.0 & earlier version SP4+), this might
be one way to accomplish it.
Couple of questions:
1. I've been working in the rgui and have a data directory
defined for each project I'm working on. It there a
straightforward way to link the existing project directories
(and the .Rdata files) with instances of emacs+ESS or
does this have to be done manually each time? I don't
want to reinvent the wheel. I know that I can use:
M-x ess-create-object-name-db
which seems to "import" the .RData file into the emacs\bin
directory. I'd like to keep the .RData file in its own project
directory along with source code, text files, and various
types of output files. I'd also like to make certain the
updates to data, code, etc stay in that project directory. I
didn't see any "quick and dirty" explanation for how to do
this.
2. I noticed that under Emacs+ESS + R I am unable to
tile the graphics window of R with the buffer window of
Emacs. Is there an Emacs (or ESS) sequence that
forces the child windows to tile?
Thanks for your help.
