I decided to try out Xemacs instead of Emacs in Linux (RH 7.2). After doing lots of configuration of Xemacs, I finally discovered a major problem. With Emacs, when I use R, I start Emacs twice (at least), in different viewports, once as emacs -f R and once as emacs myfile.R Then I try commands in the first one, and, when they work (which isn't very often), I cut the command with C-w,

On RedHat linux 7.2, I upgraded (?) Emacs and R at the same time and now I'm getting some funny business with R and ESS. I reinstalled ESS from the tarball and re-byte-compiled. In particular, help.start() does work, and ESS works to send text regions to the R process, but ?function does not return anything, and the status line says "ESS process not ready. Finish your command

I have a similar question, I know about --vsize, but I use R under Emacs using ESS. I know there is an easy way to call R from ESS with command line options but I don't remember how. I can't find help on this in ESS documentation or in R documentation. Could someone please remind me how this is done. ------------------------------------ | Robert Denham | |

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.

Hello, I am new on the list and in R language. I only have one question - could it be achieved that pressing a TAB key autocompletes the possible directions to the R language. This is a Unix feature and it would greatly boost the performance. I have R-1.3.1 installed on Linux.

System info: Red Hat 9.0 R Version 1.7.0 ESS 5.1.21 Emacs 21.2.1 ------------------- Colleagues At work I've had to migrate from Mandrake 9.1 to Red Hat 9.0 and I'm reinstalling R. I am having a problem downloading from R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm from /bin/linux/redhat/9/i386. Basically the download does not complete. I am using mozilla, and when I click on the link the screen corrupts with

This is a question that I should have sent to 'ess-help', but I take my chances... In 'NEWS' (1.9.0) I read the good news o Underscore '_' is now allowed in syntactically valid names, and make.names() no longer changes underscores. Very old code ... but when I try it in emacs (ESS 5.1.24), my '_' are changed to ' <- '! What can I do?

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

I have a probably basic problem concerning the R language. I will write some small R programs but don't really know how to start. Do I have to create my files in some editor like emacs or can I write my code in the R prompt? How to compile the code? I haven't found any good manual parts about this subject. regards A.P

I've been having problems with Rterm.exe not shutting down when I exit an R (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) session from within emacs when using ESS. I've just upgraded to 5.1.24 and still have the same problems. I'm running ntemacs and winxp. I don't recall having these troubles with version 1.6.2 of R. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald and Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon

Here is how to print graphs for inclusion in Latex. First make sure you've got the graph you want. Do this by repeating and editing the command to make the graph, in the usual way. (Yes, I know Miktex is good, but it isn't as good as Emacs with ESS, although I admit that I could never configure Emacs properly on Windows - which was reason #23.5 for giving up Windows.) Second, say

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Dear R-help, Apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for this question. I am trying to run R in emacs using ESS. I have done this successfully many times - it works right now on my home computer in windows 7 and in ubuntu. The problem is that when I start emacs the regular splash screen doesn't show. In the mini-buffer I get the message "Finding all versions of R on your

Hi all, I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but I am trying to configure emacs/ess on Ubuntu 8.04 to run the way described for ESS and Xemacs in Windows (John Fox's guide). I installed ess as directed at http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ . Under Windows I could use Emacs/ess fine (but I am obviously a novice at emacs), but am having trouble doing so in Ubuntu. At

Hi, I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail. How are these things suppose to work with R - or work, period? I downloaded the latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation says. But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs. Where is /.emacs???? I opened the ess-site.el file and it also says to

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

Hi! I have R 1.9.1, Mac OS X 10.3.5, GNU Emacs 21.2.1 and ESS 5.2.3. I installed today the ESS by not changing ess-site.el, but creating .emacs in $home with the single line: $ cat ~/.emacs (load "/usr/local/lib/ess-5.2.3/lisp/ess-site") If I start now emacs and then R (with M-x R) then I get: > options(STERM='iESS', editor='emacsclient') but using fix() oder

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are
