As a user of only R, I don't use much of the potential of ESS and Emacs. Without entering a religious feud, is there any reason I should use XEmacs rather than my current GNU Emacs? (I looked on the XEmacs site, but I didn't understand the programming issues they were talking about (over my head).) Martin Henry H.

Dear list members, I've had helpful feedback from a number of people, several of whom experienced some problems getting my XEmacs/ESS configuration files for Windows to work properly. I will, of course, make changes based on this feedback, but the following information may be of use in the interim: (1) It's clear that my instructions and installation procedure were insufficiently

I've been using a cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), a nice little perl script to auto-generate GNU-style changelogs from CVS log information. This site also has a proposed XML format for changelogs, and cvs2cl can optionally produce this instead. Finally, they have an XSLT sylesheet that will convert the XML changlong format into an HTML/XHTML page. How about we borrow this tool

Suppose one wanted to build an R wizard for packaging... One would need to specify and create: package-name/ package-name/Description package-name/INDEX package-name/R/ package-name/man/ package-name/src/ >From this, we'd "probably" like to: - script-up the Description - provide a script for regenerating INDEX by calling out to the

In a recent post, I reported that help.start worked with Mozilla, although it had not worked before. I now have discovered the difference. I'm using RH Linux 7.1 and Mozilla 0.9.5 and R 1.3.1. When I tried it before, I had use ESS to start R. If I run R without ESS, help.start() will start the browser (Mozilla), but help(apply), for example, will produce help in ESS but not in the browser.

Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000. Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution. 1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R 1.6.0. I

Hi, Is there a way to comment out multiple lines at once in R source code like C language's /* */ struct? This is quite useful when one is testing different sections of a source code.

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

I am having trouble with ESS+R. I don't know if it is an ESS problem or an R problem, so I'm posting to this mailing list in the first instance. I am using R 1.6.2, Windows XP (latest updates installed), XEmacs 21.4, and ESS 5.1.21. I have experienced the same problem under Windows 2000 and recent versions of Emacs and ESS (though my current Windows XP installation is from scratch, and

I am having some trouble getting reftex, in particular the bibtex related features, to work properly in xemacs when editing text in Sweave files. I have added (defun Rnw-mode () (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist

Duncan - (but sent to R-devel, for any other thoughts?) How do you envision RSPerl being used? Without having seen the details, I can think of playing with strings; is there a preferred incantation for stringification of R objects (serialization)? (actually, the main problem I'm having is that I know how I want to code something like: Robject <-

Dear R and ESS users, I got the following error when trying to load a source file (smart.R in directory E:\R\) into XEmacs through the menu iESS and "Load source file": Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `E:Rsmart.R' It seems the slash "/" or "\" being missing, but I don't know

Hello, I carelessly sent this to the unfortunate Mr. Johnson, rather than to the list, so I'm sending it on to the list. Re-reading it after a couple days, I think that it might still be worth sharing. I think I agree with an earlier reply: GUI's are confining, and eventually slow you down, relative to programming. The strong point of a GUI is that it lets you quickly, easily do a new

One thing that has driven me batty to no end is the fact that ESS doesn't handle R's "exit" well. Any thoughts as to the default? I'm thinking of something like: current: do what currently is done C-u Y C-c C-q : quit and save workspace C-u N C-c C-q : quit and don't save workspace. Comments? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch.

Hello all, since we're on the topic of R-editors. I am using emacs/ess on a unix workstation (to interact with R and have been having a little problem. I usually write the R commands I need to run in a separate buffer then copy and paste them into the *R* buffer for evaluation. The problem is, if any command is spread over multiple lines emacs/R hangs when I paste it in the R buffer for

I have a small request re. R FAQ Frequently Asked Questions on R Version 1.5-10, 2002-06-13 ISBN 3-901167-51-X Kurt Hornik In section 6.2 Should I run R from within Emacs? The faq says "Yes, definitely." This led me to install emacs, and to install ess. However, I use a windows environment (mswindows2000) and I had some difficulty installing, linking and launching these
