[R] Emacs for R

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

Sorry to semi-hijack this thread, but this is a question that's been
burning for a while and, well, I think it's still relevant to this
discussion :-)

I tried using Emacs/ESS when I first started playing with R (and
bioconductor). My problem with it was that I believe R is started in
the same thread/process as emacs, so if I ran an R command that took a
long while to complete, I couldn't switch back to my source buffer and
keep messing around with my code while the R process was doing
whatever it was doing.

Is this something that can be worked around?

Thanks,
-steve
