When I try to use the following stata command in inferior-ess-mode:

   . net install dm91, from(http://www.stata.com/stb/stb61)

I get the following error:

   net install dm91, from(http:
   ) required
   r(100);

I have tried putting the URL in quotes, and backslashing the forward
slashes, but neither of these works. The text from // onwards is
coloured orange which I think means that ess is treating it as a comment
and not sending it to stata.
