problems - ess 5.1.20, xemacs 21.4.6, windows xp, R1.4.1

[Anthony Rossini]

So is everything fine now?  

The ESS-dribble buffer might be what you are seeing, but I'm not sure.

I'm also not sure about the "confirmation" aspect, could you be more precise, since I suspect it is related to something other than where R lives (I would suspect that it is the location for a transcript buffer, not the binary, but work like to confirm that!)

best,
