Many thanks, Lionel. It works fine now.
And apologies for my ignorance.

Which configuration file are you referring to? Not the
function-outline.S in etc/ because it's already there. Something in
the lisp/ directory? Anything that contains reference to
function-outline seems to be the same. I'm pretty ignorant of how the
idea of .el and .elc files in lisp works. I just use emacs to write R
code.
The yasnippet package would take me ages to get my head around, and I
don't have use for most of what it seems to do.

That's the same as what's in my lisp/old directory. What am I to
learn from that?

What could be the thinking behind that? The outline file is still
there in the etc/ directory, so I never would have imagined dumping
ess-insert-function-outline into the old/ directory.

Good guess.

How do I use that? There's /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/skeleton.elc
that I could copy to the lisp/ directory or make a link from there to
it. Would that make sense?
If not, I'll just stick with an older version that works fine.
There's nothing new that makes it worth forgoing the function
skeleton.
Thanks for your help.

[ESS] ess-insert-function-outline
After many years of loyal service, ess-insert-function-outline has
stopped working. I get the message:
Symbol's function definition is void: ess-insert-function-outline
During my recent issue with the R dump function (not an ESS issue as
it turns out) I might have inadvertantly modified something, but only
.emacs and .Rprofile were involved AFAIR and I don't notice anything
when comparing old versions of those files. It might be a coincidence
that I had been dealing with the buffer created by
ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer but with nothing else to go on, it appears
slightly more likely to be the source of the problem.
I have the function-outline.S file in $ESS-HOME/etc/ directory where
it has always worked. What conveys the instructions to 'insert' it?
If I try the same in an Emacs window that has been running for several
weeks, i.e. before I tinkered with .emacs and .Rprofile, it works as
it has always done. What does that fact tell us?
TIA
