Hi,

While I'm a devoted vim user, I'm testing ESS :)
How do I set the working directory when using ESS and R under windows?
When I try to launch R, it asks for a directory. In windows, it simply
doesn't let you pick a directory on the 'open' dialog.
It may be a problem with windows server 2008 64 bit, though, as it seems
really basic. Thanks.

Best,
-Jose
