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

[Dr Mike Waters]

It seems to be after the location of the R source directory - after
careful scrolling back through the message, which I trashed a couple of
times due to the fact I'm doing this on a Dell laptop and it has a loopy
touchpad. It's into destroying what you're trying to look at. Doh! I'm
sure I had this working ok some time back - can't find my notes or
remember what I did back then.

Regards

Mike

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,
