error loading source file

[Manning, Michael]

Hello Tony and Jeff

Jeff, your lisp hack to fix the directory separator issue with C-c C-l when
running under windows, i.e. replacing

>     (ess-command (format inferior-ess-load-command filename) errbuffer)
> 
with

>     (ess-command (format inferior-ess-load-command
>                    (let ((directory-sep-char ?/))
>                     (expand-file-name filename)))
>                  errbuffer)
> 
in ess-inf.el appears to work just fine.  Valid code loads noiselesly from
editing buffers, invalid code doesn't, producing error messages with the
line number in an error buffer.  Many thanks.
