Help for ESS for Splus6 in Linux

[Hou, Kevin]

Thank you for your help but I still have the question of loading the s
function to S. For example, if I have a directory mys which contains _Data,
I should start from mys. Is that correct?
Now if I add the lines you recommended in .emacs and start from a directory
containing _Data and dump a new function for editing. Then I use c-c c-l (I
do not want to use c-c c-b to execute the function because I usually have
several parameters I want to pass to the function, or I may want to pass the
output of this function call to another object). Would this load the new
function I just edited or do I have to use source to load it?

Actually, if you are editing it, c-c c-b from the buffer will "load"
it as well.

Something like:


(setq ess-source-directory
      (lambda () (file-name-as-directory
                  (expand-file-name
                   (concat (default-directory)  ;(CAR ess-search-list)
                           ess-suffix "-src")))))

will dump stuff in a subdirectory, R-src or S-src, of your current
working directory (running S/R), rather than in /tmp.

Then you can load out of that sub-directory.  

Since I usually edit out of the subdirectory, I just make sure to
start one-level up, and load files from the subdirectory as needed for
editing (I almost never use C-c C-l, mainly C-c C-b, C-c C-r, C-c C-f,
and C-c C-n from the source code buffers that I'm editing).

best,
