Perhaps Luis' problem is that ESS isn't installed on the *NIX system
he's using and as a consequence the commands he's used to working with
to send lines from the script to the R shell aren't working?
Indeed if this is the case then Emacs will be running a shell and not
R (unless R has been invoked from the shell, which isn't quite the
same as starting R from within Emacs via ESS I believe).
If this is the case Luis has two options...
1) Ask the system administrator to install ESS system-wide.
2) Install ESS in his home directory (see the UNIX section of
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Installation on how to
achieve this, note that the installation is the same for 1) except
your sysadmin will extract files to something like
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess as opposed to ~/emacs).
