Hi all,

I am new to ESS and trying to pick up this powerful tool.  Having read the
ESS manual and downloaded a ref-card, but still find it hard to start.

I used Vincent Goulet's GNU EMacs + ESS installation package and mainly use
it for R programming in Windows environment, and would greatly appreciate
any input and help:

1, Is there a way to specify folder when opening a code not in my home
directory? Do I really need to type the whole path?  Or can I change the
default home directory to any one I want?

2, When I type "TAB" key to indent the code, it simply doesn't work.  it
said to use <TAB> To indent the line on ESS refer card (V 5.3.0), why is
that?

3, I followed Paul E Johnson's advice and installed his startup
configuration file for Emacs (
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ESSWindowsAdvice). He also mentioned another
configuration file "framepop.el" and provided the link for download, but he
didn't say how to used that.  Can anyone do me a favor to explain?

Thank you very much!

Best,
