draft documentation and configuration for R with ESS + XEmacs under Windows

[Rodney Sparapani]

John:

There's an intro ESS manual @ 
http://software.biostat.washington.edu/ess/doc/ess-intro.pdf

We are working on a ESS User Manual in PDF which will be an update of the HTML 
version.

Windows
>Mime-Version: 1.0
>
>Dear ESS list members,
>
>I've prepared a brief draft document describing the use of ESS and R with 
>XEmacs under MS Windows, along with some configuration files (e.g., for 
>initial window setup and a toolbar). This material is aimed at novice users 
>of ESS and Emacs.
>
>The document and configuration files are respectively at 
><http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ess.pdf> and 
><http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/fox-ESS-config.zip>.
>
>Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
>
>I should mention that I encountered a couple of problems: (1) I had to set 
>R-editor to "winclient.exe" (rather than "gnuclient.exe") (see the init.el 
>file); (2) I had to modify ess-load-file to handle backslashes in paths 
>properly (see the .toolbar file).
>
>As well, I wasn't able to locate an up-to-date downloadable version of the 
>ESS manual. There's an HTML version at software.biostat.washington.edu, and 
>an older PDF version at stat.ethz.ch. Did I miss something?
>
>Thanks,
>  John
