I've tried it several times now, but I was never able to start Splus (6.2 or 7) inside emacs. I almost exactly followed the instructions in the ESS manual. The only difference is that I installed my Splus programs on D drive, but I changed the PATH variable accordingly. Here's the error message I received:

If I use M-x sqpe, it will prompt me to use the current directory to start splus, but then I press RET, it says: spawning child process: invalid arguments.

If I use M-x s+6 msdos, it says: the emacs variable "inferior-S+6-program-name" does not point to S 6 or 7 or 8. ...

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Yindeng Jiang
