Simon,

Well, it looks like the R.app editor has made tremendous strides since I last 
looked at it (e.g., nice indenting that conforms to the ESS C++ style, etc.).
Can I infer from  your email that there is some .Rnw support as well?

If so, aside from platform independence, it looks like there's less and less of 
a reason to stick to emacs-ess.

Can you point us to the Sweave/Tangle documentation for the R.app editor?

Thanks,

dave
