Setting up ESS for Win2000

[Jim_Garrett at bd.com]

I came up with one more piece of information:  while emacs appears "hung",
the Rterm process is still running.  When I kill Rterm manually (via the
task manager), emacs returns to normal (with a message that the Rterm
process has terminated abnormally).

I would guess that emacs somehow fails to cause Rterm to quit normally, and
it is waiting for Rterm to stop.

I certainly have a very crude workaround for now (quitting with task
manager!), but if this bit of info helps, I would love any further ideas!

Thanks,

-Jim

Interesting.  Can any one else verify this, or try it under XEmacs?
