Hi Rich

Apparently your fix has solved the problem for Bjørn-Helge Mevik but I 
am still having some problems. I started again from ground zero when 
the fix didn't work for me. This is what I did.

Deleted my previous installation of emacs and ess. Reinstalled emacs-
21.1 and ess-5.1.2, puting ess under the c:\emacs. 

edited \emacs\ess\list\ess-site.el to include the function above, listing 
follows:

;;; Commentary:

;;; This file defines all the site-specific customizations for ESS.
;;; It should be edited on a per-site basis.  Read the comments (1.1
;;; in Section 1 to see if ess-site.el must be edited.	The final
;;; directory location of this file must be supplied in
;;; ess-lisp-directory.	 The editing of remaining sections is
;;; optional.  It should then be byte-compiled, and users who wish to
;;; use ess-mode should add the line:
;;;    (load "/PATH/TO/THIS/FILE/ess-site")
;;; (where /PATH/TO/THIS/FILE is the path to ess-site.elc: i.e. the
;;; value of ess-lisp-directory, below) to their .emacs file.
;;;
;;; Alternatively, if the file is already in a directory specified by
;;; the load-path variable:
;;;    (require 'ess-site)
;;; will work.
;;;
;;; with XEmacs, this is simply:
;;;      (add-path "/path/to/ess/lisp-directory")
;;; with Emacs (and in general):
;;;      (setq load-path (cons "/path/to/ess/lisp-directory" load-path)
;;;

;; provide here; otherwise we'll get infinite loops of (require ..):
(provide 'ess-site)

;;; Code:

;;;; 1. Load path, autoloads, and major modes
;;;; ========================================
;;;
;;; (1.1) For most users the variable ess-lisp-directory will
;;; automatically be set correctly.  If you are working with an old
;;; emacs, one in which file-truename is not defined, then you might
;;; need to change the value of ess-lisp-directory to the directory
;;; which is to contain the file ess-site.elc.	This is probably the
;;; current directory, or the value of LISPDIR if it was set in the
;;; Makefile.

;;; (3.2) Framepop.  Windows produced by ess-execute-objects etc. are
;;; often unnecessarily large. The framepop package makes such
;;; windows appear in a separate, shrink-wrapped frame. This will
;;; also affect other "temporary" windows such as those produced by
;;; C-h k, etc.	 To enable, uncomment both lines of code below).
;;;
;;; Works only with Emacs at this time.
;; (cond (window-system
;;	 (require 'framepop)))

;;; (3.3) ess-keep-dump-files.
;;; Documentation:
;;; *Variable controlling whether to delete dump files after a successful 
load.
;;; If nil: always delete.  If `ask', confirm to delete.  If `check', confirm
;;; to delete, except for files created with ess-dump-object-into-edit-
buffer.
;;; Anything else (for example `always'): always keep and never delete.
;;; This variable only affects the behavior
;;; of ess-load-file.  Dump files are never deleted if an error occurs
;;; during the load.
;;;
;;; RH sez: I find the default `always' keep to be imperative.	The 
previous
;;; default was to throw away
;;; files at the wrong time (I think it was something like, if you M-x
;;; ess-load a file twice, while you are working on it, the file is
;;; deleted).  I believe source is real and the ESS object is temporary.
;;; The previous default behavior is dangerous for people who believe 
this way.
;;; It made sense only for people who believe the object is real
;;; and the source file temporary.
(setq ess-keep-dump-files "always")

;;; (3.4) ess-ask-for-ess-directory
;;; If t, will ask for the directory to use.  If nil, assumes the
;;; default (usually, the users home directory...).
(setq ess-ask-for-ess-directory t)

;;; (3.5) ess-directory default	 (correlated with above)
;;; The default location for running the subprocess is configurable.
;;; By default, that is the default-directory (a lisp variable which
;;; initially contains the directory from which the inferior ESS
;;; statistical package/process	 is started).
;;; For example, the following function (added to the pre-run-hook, by
;;; the line following it) will set the default directory to be your
;;; home directory:
;;;
;;(defun ajr:ess-set-directory ()
;;  "Set ess-directory to home."
;;  (setq-default ess-directory (file-name-as-directory (getenv "HOME"))))
;;(add-hook 'ess-pre-run-hook 'ajr:ess-set-directory)
;;;
;;; If you replace the setq-default line with:
;;;
;; (setq-default ess-directory (file-name-as-directory
;;			    (concat (getenv "HOME") "/ess/")))
;;;
;;; then it will always start up in the directory "ess" in your home
;;; directory.
;;;
;;; The default is to have ess to start up in the current buffer's
;;; directory (the one in which you started the inferior ESS
;;; statistical package/process).  This is obtained
;;; by setting ess-directory to nil, i.e.
;; (setq-default ess-directory nil) ; this is the default.


;;; 3.6 Example of formatting changes

;;; Formatting and indentation patterns are defined in ess-cust.el, please
;;; see ess-cust.el for exact definitions of these variable settings.
;;; To change them, uncomment one or both of the following lines:
;;; (eg, follow changes suggested by Terry Therneau)
;;(setq ess-fancy-comments nil)
;;(setq ess-default-style 'CLB)

;;; 4.0 SAS configuration

;;; Beginning with ESS 5.1.13, we have editing options in SAS-mode.
;;; The default behavior is as it was in prior releases.
;;;
;;; There are two sets of alternatives.
;;;   1. Editing SAS-mode files.
;;;   1a. Default: TAB is bound to sas-indent-line.
;;;       Current line is correctly indented as SAS code.  Equivalent to
;;;(setq ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle 0) ;; default TAB in sas-mode
;;;   1b. Optional: TAB is bound to tab-to-tab-stop and inserts up to 4
;;;       columns at a time.  C-TAB moves backwards and deletes 
characters
;;;       up to 4 columns at a time.
;;;       Uncomment the following line for the optional behavior.
;;;(setq ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle 1)   ;; optional TAB and C-TAB in sas-
mode
;;;   Use the function call (ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle 0)
;;;   or                    (ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle 1)
;;;   to change the setting after the first SAS-mode buffer has been 
created.
;;;   1c. You can also define C-TAB in all modes by specifying either
;;;(setq ess-sas-global-unix-keys t) ;; optional C-TAB bound in all modes
;;;(setq ess-sas-global-pc-keys t)   ;; optional C-TAB bound in all modes
;;;       See below. 
;;;
;;;   2. Managing submitted SAS jobs with function keys.
;;;   2a. Default: Function keys retain their global bindings.
;;;   2b. Options: Uncomment at most one of the following four lines.
;;;(setq ess-sas-local-unix-keys t)  ;; [f2]--[f8] bound in sas-mode and 
related modes
;;;(setq ess-sas-local-pc-keys t)    ;; [f2]--[f8] bound in sas-mode and 
related modes
;;;(setq ess-sas-global-unix-keys t) ;; [f2]--[f8] bound in all modes
;;;(setq ess-sas-global-pc-keys t)   ;; [f2]--[f8] bound in all modes
;;;
;;;   3. If it is more convenient to have "*Async Shell Command*"
;;;      in same-window-buffer-names, then uncomment the following line
;;;(ess-same-window-async)
;;;
;;;   4. As of 5.1.19, a new and improved syntax highlighting scheme for 
.sas and .log 
;;;	 files is available (press f10 to toggle between modes in .log).  If you 
are
;;;      using XEmacs v. 20.x, then you need this as well, since it works 
around a 
;;;      problem with make-regexp.el.  Uncomment the next line for this 
feature:
;;;(setq ess-sas-run-make-regexp nil)


;(defvar sas-require-confirmation t
;  "*Require confirmation when revisiting sas-output which has changed

;;; added sas-program 4/29/94.	user can specify a different version of
