ess-5.1.20 and Schapter creation

[David Smith]

S-PLUS (from 5.x onwards) requires you to run

Splus CHAPTER

in a directory where you wish to run S-PLUS before you do so.  This only
needs to be done once.  The procedure is documented in the manual.

Perhaps ESS could run "Splus CHAPTER" in instances where it creates a
new directory before starting the S-PLUS process?
