[R] EMACS/ESS problems

[Murad Nayal]

Hi,

It didn't help in this case

in *scratch*

v = c(1,  #
      2,  #
      3);

highlight then ess-eval-region (hangs)
C-g then switch to *R* you see:

> v = c(1,  #
+       2,  #
+ 

I had to type ')' to stop the continuation

Also per Sundar's suggestion

> .Options$continue
[1] "+ "

I am hoping some of this might give someone a clue as to what's going
on!
