[ESS] ESS and Sweave

[Shige Song]

I was jumping to conclusion too fast. I tried your method, and got the
same results as before: ""\"" pdfviewer "\" \"" namestem ".pdf\"")))"
brings up
the pdf viewer, but frees Emacs; "\"" pdfviewer "\" \"" namestem
".pdf\" &"))) does not freeze Emacs, but does not bring up the pdf
viewer either. Feel like my computers (two of them) were cursed.
