Hi,

Yes, I defined the HOME environment variable as instructed in the installation instructions. Also, I can happily switch buffers in Emacs (C-x C-b or using C-x C-o) to the R-window and back to the .r file I am editing without any problem...

If it matters, I am using Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop, and the latest version of R.

Thanks, Suresh

Suresh,

Did you define a HOME environment variable for Emacs to use (as instructed in
the installation instructions)? I observed that when the HOME variable is not
defined (or points to a non-existent directory), Emacs will freeze as soon as
one toggles from the Emacs window to another application and back to Emacs.

And of course, I should have written FSF Emacs in my original post, not FSG.

Hope this helps!

Prof. Goulet,

I apologize in advance if I shouldnt have been writing to you directly;
but I thought that my problem was simple enough that you could very
quickly say if you knew of a quick fix for this.

Because I am familiar with the Emacs editor, I was happily and
gratefully using your packaged version of FSG Emacs after you suggested
it here on the list (R-help); but I have run into a problem that occurs

when i run:
>x=1;
>y=1;
>par(ask=T)
>plot(x,y)

emacs/ess/r now freezes because it is waiting for me to hit enter to see
the next plot, however, when i hit enter, i am not sure R is able to
realize that i hit enter. also, the "hit enter to see next plot" message
is not displayed in the window with the r process.

If this is a problem that is somehow specific to what I am doing, then
please let me know. I have switched back to JGR and the mouse, until then.

Thanks !!

Suresh

To answer your question: I don't think it matters.

If you're willing to use FSG Emacs instead of XEmacs, I repackaged Emacs
21.3 for Windows together with recent versions of ESS and AuCTeX for my
students (I personally run Linux). The package and installation
instructions are at:

 http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/download/software/emacs/

(Look for files emacs-21.3-ready.zip, emacs_install_en.txt and perhaps
ess_s-plus_win_en.txt.)

Hope this helps!

Dear R People:

I have finally seen the error of my ways and have decided to use ESS for
R and S + stuff.

However, I have a question right from the beginning.  I'm somewhat
confused by the installation instructions.

Do I install XEMACS or ESS first, please?

Windows XP
R Version 2.0.1
(S + 6.2)

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
Laura Holt
