[ESS] how to make ESS open 64-bit R instead of 32-bit R?

[Kevin Wright]

You can also explicitly tell emacs to use any version that you want.  Put
something like this in your .emacs file (this version is obviously for
Windows):

(setq inferior-R-program-name "c:/Progra~1/R/R-3.2.3/bin/x64/rterm.exe")

Downside to this is that you have to manually change this every time you
install a new version of R.
