[R] Emacs for R

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Steve,
I don't have that issue with emacs 23.1, ess 5.6.1, and R  2.10 on
OpenSuse 11.1. eldoc doesn't work until the current evaluation is
complete, but I'm able to edit my scripts files. So there is a way to
avoid the problem you describe (seems to work be default with my
setup).
