Dear all, This might not be the best place to post this (maybe the ESS help is better) but I will try anyways. I am running ESS, Xemacs, R 8.1 on a debian testing dist (i386 arch). when I envoke the edit(data) command, a data editor appears and all is fine. However executing C-c C-c will only blank out the data frame in the data editor and does not kill it. I have to go and kill it with the mouse in order to be able to type anything else on the xemacs-ESS session. On a Win XP machine it works fine the C-c C-c does kill the data editor completely. Note on the debian machine when issuing C-c C-c, the data frame will not print in Xemacs even when killed manually. However, If only killed manually the data frame will print in the ESS session. Thank you for your help.
