Re: [ESS] [R] M-x R gives no choice of starting dir

[Paul Johnson]

If Emacs is not asking for starting directory, it is very likely your
init file has this somewhere:

(setq ess-ask-for-ess-directory nil)

I suppose you are using ESS? There is a variable called
'ess-ask-for-ess-directory', which controls whether
M-x R prompts for a directory. Perhaps you have set
this to nil?

I also Cc the ESS-help mailing list and suggest that
follow-up be sent there.


Kind regards
