Hi Rich,

Thanks a lot for the reply.  However, this isn't quite what I want.  This,
in effect, starts S every time I run emacs.  However, I don't always use S
when I start emacs (I do edit other files in emacs).  What I want is: every
time I run R/S, run it under ESS.  Is this possible?

Thanks again, and happy holidays!

Andy
