[ESS] some recent bugs/annoyances

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

The value of "ess-dialect" is:

ess-dialect is a variable defined in `ess-custom.el'.
Its value is "S+6"

And no, it doesn't auto start.  I get the following in the minibuffer and
the *Messages" buffer.

Type C-h m for help on ESS version 12.09
apply: Searching for program: aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type,
Splus8

As I said, to start S+ from the command line on THIS machine it is "Splus".
In my .emacs I have the following:

(custom-set-variables  ;; Should allow starting different versions of S+
 '(ess-SHOME-versions (quote("/actuaria/splus_app8.2/cmd"))))
(setq ess-s-versions-list
      '(("Splus82" "Splus")
        ("Splus82-j" "Splus" "-j")
        ("Splus82-jh" "Splus" "-j -headless")
))

I mostly use, from ess.

M-x Splus82-j, this activates java for java.graph.

Note that I much prefer not having it auto-start than having to kill R and
than restart it, or even having S+ starts with the wrong options!!!  A
minibuffer message telling me I forgot to start a process is fine with
me!!!

Thanks again,

Gérald
