4. Anything else I should check or do to proceed?
I think you have to change something in the file ess-site.el
Depending on your version of ESS, the line number may vary.
In older versions it was at about line 250.
In my current version (from 28 July 2004) it is in line 326.
You should see something like:
;;(setq-default inferior-S+5-program-name Splus5)
;;(setq-default inferior-S+6-program-name Splus6)
;;(setq-default inferior-R-program-name R) ; unix systems
;;(setq-default inferior-R-program-name Rterm) ; msdos systems
the last line should be uncommented (by removing the two ;) and the
correct path should be specified.
In my case it looks like this:
(setq-default inferior-R-program-name
U:\\R\\rw2000beta\\bin\\Rterm.exe)
Is this of any help for you?
Best,
Roland

Re: [R] ess in Windows (newbie Q)
The basic problem is that ESS is not being loaded. To find the init file, pull down the Help menu item and I believe that there is an entry Edit Init File (or similar -- I don't have access to (X)Emacs right now). Alternatively, after starting Emacs, open up: ~/.emacs and put it there (it will select your home directory for you). i.e. C-x C-f ~/.emacs or M-x find-file ret ~/.emacs Apologies for being pedantic, if that happens to be the case. best, -tony On Tue, 07 Dec 2004 00:18:59 -0500, Murray Eisenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm a rank beginner with R, and I'm stumped at how to get it to work with Xemacs under Windows XP.

Re: [R] ess in Windows (newbie Q)
For you reference, there exists a separate mailing list for ESS, which you can find on news.gmane.org just like the R list.

Anything else I should check or do to proceed? See if this works, otherwise seek out the ESS mailing list!
