Hello,

you were right, I was requiring ess-site further down the .emacs file.

It now starts Splus with the "j" option.  What would happen if I wanted to
start it either without any options or with the "h" or "jh" options???

If that is of any use:

ess-dialect is a variable defined in `ess-custom.el'.
Its value is "Splus82-j"
Local in buffer Sondage.q; global value is nil

Thank you very much, I am a long time user of ESS (10+ years) and this
"feature" introduced with a more R-slanted ESS was for me an annoyance!!!

Another annoyance is that I can't get a function's argument list anymore by
just pressing F3, and I think any R-Splus user will use this feature
several times a day, in R, no problems, works fine but not in Splus
anymore!!!

Great work, thanks again,

Gérald
