I have another problem with my ESS configuration (ESS version 18.10.3snapshot).  My editor in R is set as 'emacsclient':

!> options("editor")
 $editor
 [1] "emacsclient"

However, when I execute help() or use C-c C-v, I get a new buffer with the following message:

+ emacsclient: file name or argument required
Try 'emacsclient --help' for more information

I do have the doc files installed and help() works fine when running R in a plain terminal.

Can someone point out what seems to be wrong with my configuration?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

I should add that I have these options set in my R session.

 > options()$help.pager
 [1] "emacsclient"
 > options()$editor
 [1] "emacsclient"
 > options()$pager
 [1] "emacsclient"

And I have (server-start) at the end of my init.el file.

The page(), fix(), and edit() functions do work properly, but I still get the message listed in my original message when I use help(), ?, or C-c C-v.

Thanks for any advice you might have to help fix this problem.

Bill
