Hi all,

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but I am trying to
configure emacs/ess on Ubuntu 8.04 to run the way described for ESS and
Xemacs in Windows (John Fox's guide).  I installed ess as directed at
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ .  Under Windows I could use Emacs/ess fine
(but I am obviously a novice at emacs), but am having trouble doing so in
Ubuntu.  At present I have loaded ess, and it opens as a buffer when emacs
opens.  But I can't open an R session with M-x-R, and can only open R if I
have a pre-existing .R file.  Also, I would like to have emacs, either by
default or with a hot key, open up a file in the upper window and R in the
lower.  Any hints on how I can do this?

Forgive me if these questions are too elementary.

Wade
