ESS and stata- no graphic output

[Jan Goebel]

Hello,

i encountered the same problem as Eduardo sometimes ago
described. I found only the question from tony and 
i can say: yes no problem to start a xterm (DISPLAY is defined,
if this was your intention?) 
Did anybody fixed the problem?

Starting stata in an xterm/aixterm i have no problems with graphics.
The command "query" in stata produces (using an xterm):

------------------------------------------------------ Hardware
        pd | /usr/local/stata6/pd.X (binary)

doing the same command in stata under emacs/ESS, i get:

------------------------------------------------------ Hardware
        pd | 

So the problems seems that stata don't know which pd.Driver
it has to use, which are defined in pddefs. In this file
i found something like:

-----pddefs(excerpt)---------
rgs     rs/6000      a   <none>
RGS     rs/6000      a   <none>
wy99    rs/6000      b   pd.wy99
aixterm rs/6000      b   pd.X
aixterm-m rs/6000    b   pd.X -g0
xterm   rs/6000      b   pd.X
------end--------------------

So, does anyone know how to say stata that he have to use pd.X
also in emacs/ESS (i didn't have the permission to edit pddefs)
or can ESS tell stata a lie about the $TERM??

I'm using:
   GNU Emacs 20.3.1
   ESS 5.1.18
   stata 6.0
on rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.5.0

Thanks a lot!
