[R] How to run R on Emacs+ESS

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Steve,


> No, not ctrl-x r. The previous poster told you to do "Alt-x R"
I did it before without response.  Now I found the trick.  I have to hit [Enter] 
twice (Not once).  Then 'R' starts.


> ?layout
n help("layout", htmlhelp = FALSE) : 
  unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE)
(can't start it)


> help.start()
starts "Startistical Data Analysis" browser


> getwd()
[1] "/home/satimis"


> [Ctrl]-h m
start help menu.


I'll find time to practise Emacs.


Thanks

No, not ctrl-x r. The previous poster told you to do "Alt-x R" (where
Alt might be "option" on your keyboard). In emacs-speak, this modifier
key (alt/opt) is written as "M" ... so M-x is "option-x"

No offense, but it seems like your a complete noob w/ emacs, too (we
all were at some point). It might be helpful for you to read through a
few emacs tutorials to get the basics down before you keep banging
your head against this wall.
