Hi everyone,

How can I change the default setting of ESS to open a 64 bit R session? I
usually start my R sessions by opening a .R file in the work folder and c-c
c-n at the first line. At this point, ESS will prompt me: ESS [S(R): R
(newest)] starting data directory? c:/Windows/System32/, to start R in the
work folder. However, by default ESS opens a 32 bit R session (as called by
R-newest). Could I change what R-newest calls?

I'm currently using R 2.12.2 on a 64bit Windows 7 Enterprise machine using
vincent goulet's emacs 23.3 modified 1.exe distribution.  I can open a 64
bit R session by going through the ESS menu and start process > other > R
2.12.2 - 64 bit.

I tried adding the following to my .emacs file but couldn't fix the issue.
(setq-default inferior-R-program-name "C:\\Program
Files\\R\\R-2.12.2\\bin\\x64\\Rterm.exe");

Thanks in advance for any help.
Lucia
