ESS 5.1.19 and S+6 on Solaris - invocation with arguments - 2nd request

[Shawn Boles]

I thank David Brahm for his suggestion below. I used 

  ;; set the argument for ess s+6
  (setq inferior-ess-start-args "-j") in my-init-command in my .emacs which
runs after site-init.

This works, but is in conflict with the instructions in the
http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/Manual/ess_11.html 

"If you need to call this program with any arguments, the variable you need
to set is dependent on the value of inferior-ess-program; for example if it
is "Splus", set the variable inferior-Splus-args to a string of arguments to
the Splus program. If inferior-ess-program has some other value,
substitute the Splus part of inferior-Splus-args with the appropriate
program name. There aren't many instances where you need to call S with
arguments, however: in particular do not call the S program with the `-e'
command-line editor argument since ESS provides this feature for you."


Again thanks,

- Shawn Boles

Try this in your .emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
 '(inferior-ess-start-args "-j"))

You can also have this generated for you interactively through the
