Many thanks Rich. That certainly is an improvment because I don't get the
error but there is still some problems. This is what I get after M-x
S+6-msdos:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a placeholder buffer.  You can't type anything here.
Use `C-x b RET' to return to your file.

Anything sent to this process from an S-mode buffer goes
directly to the associated Splus Commands window.

The S-Plus Commands window must be visible.
You may need to open the S-Plus Commands window manually
(by clicking on Splus/Window/Commands Window).

There is a `ess-S+6-startup-delay' second delay when this program starts
during which the emacs screen will be partially blank.

Remember to 'q()' from S-Plus and
then C-x C-q exit from the '(ddeESS [S+6])' buffer,
or take the risk of not being able to shut down your computer
and suffering through scandisk.

Any results of the   !system.command   typed at the S prompt in the
Splus Commands window (are supposed to) appear in this buffer.

Any ideas what to do next?
