Doesn't this set comint-input-ring-size globally?  How do we
go about setting this locally for an ESS process only?

For example, according to the ESS docs,
"An input history of the last few commands is maintained (by default the
last 50 commands are stored, although this can be changed by setting the
variable comint-input-ring-size in inferior-ess-mode-hook.) "

So, I tried the following (apologies for the naive lisp) in my .emacs

(setq inferior-ess-mode-hook '(lambda () (comint-input-ring-size 1024)))

but it didn't work.  Any suggestions?

2. Object completion

I'm finding the same behaviour as well.  Was a response to the
original question posted on the list?

Thanks,
