[ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Mark Seeto]

Hi Johannes,

I set the R version using something like this in my init file:
(setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe")

But I'm still using ESS 18.10.2 (in Vincent Goulet's Emacs
distribution) so that line might not be the right way to do it in the
version you're using.

Hope that helps.

Mark
