In case anyone (who doesn't read the ESS mailing list) is interested: I contacted the ESS mailing list, and was given the following disheartening information. Damon. ----------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2003 06:25:11 -0800 From: "A.J. Rossini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's an Emacs/Windows thing, that either R can fix or Emacs can fix. 1. The R folks don't have time right now, 2. we could talk to the Emacs folks, 3. it's not an ESS problem per say, but an ESS issue, since we leverage both R and Emacs. conclusion -- it probably won't get fixed anytime soon, until someone does some gory debugging of Emacs and R under Windows to understand why/how file refs are staying open.
