[ESS] How does the ess-function-outline-file work?

[Patrick Connolly]

I've used ess-function-outline-file for years now, and can't remember
what it needs to work but it's been great.  Just what is C-f doing
that makes it effect the outline file into a function buffer?  

I recently set up R-2.1.1 and ess-5.2.8 on a new machine running FC4,
everything works fine except I don't get the function outline working
when I do a C-f in a new buffer.  It works fine on older versions of
Redhat/Fedora, but when I set it up with Fedora Core4, I had to change
references to emacs in my .Xdefaults to x-emacs (IIRC).

Could something similar be going on with ess-function-outline-file?


TIA
