[ESS] Is ess supposed to help with Sweave documents?

[Henrik Andersson]

I think this is pretty damn close, yes.

Opening *ESS-errors* I can see the errors.

While looking at the ESS manual (http://ess.r-project.org/ess.pdf) the 
keybinding for ess-parse-errors is C-x ' but the minibuffers says C-c `, 
strange is it not.

Cheers, Henrik
