At the suggestion of many people, I have installed emacs on my linux (Fedora
8.0) computer with the intention of using emacs as window interface to R
(2.6.0). I have gone though the emacs tutorial and don't see any information
about how I should use emacs to run R. Can anyone suggest a document that I
might read? In the past I have used R on a Windows XP system and used the
built-in windowing interface.
Thank you,
John

This has the effect of aborting the current command. % C-c M-b Send the contents of the edit buffer to the ESS process and returns you to the ESS process buffer as well. % C-c M-r Send the text between point and mark to the ESS process and returns to the ESS process buffer afterwards. % C-c M-j Send the line containing point to the ESS process, and return to the ESS process buffer. % C-c C-n Sends the current line to the ESS process, echoing it in the process buffer, and moves point to the next line. % C-M-q Indents each line in the expression. % M-; Indents an existing comment line appropriately, or inserts an appropriate comment marker.

Even though the latter deals with Xemacs on windows, it does has useful info about using (X)emacs + ess in general. Michael Bibo Queensland Health
Hi, John, you don't have to switch to linux in order to use ess + emacs with R. just follow the installation instruction of ess and it will take you 5 minutes at most. i also feel that xemacs seems more friendly than gnuemacs for windows user.
