R-options

[Christian Hennig]

Dear Tony,

unfortunately ESS and R are kept by our system administrator and I
think that I do not possess the rights to change essd-r.el and .Renviron.
I am sure that the administrator would change these files once for me, 
but this is no solution if I (and others) do not always want to have
the same options. So isn't there any possibility from inside emacs
or R to change vsize and nsize?

Best,
Christian
