Thanks Stephen,

I do get that, except it is missing the "R-3" part, i.e. I get

ess-r-versions is a variable defined in `ess-r-d.el'.
Its value is ("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched")

I have named my executable file "R-3", linked to the newest version of R,
have I caused myself a problem there?

Thanks

J
