[ESS] Emacs windows and Interactive SAS

[Richard M. Heiberger]

I am thrilled to hear M-x SAS is still in use.

The request is both reasonable and easy.
I wrote it based on the function ess-multi-frame-SAS in essd-sas.el

Store the following in file essd-sas-3window.el and then load the file from dired with L.

Place the cursor in a myfile.sas buffer.
Run SAS with M-x SAS,
Return the cursor to the myfile.sas buffer,
then enter C-c 3

Let me know how this works for you.  If it seems reasonable add the line
        (load-file "essd-sas-3window.el")
to your .emacs.  After some experience we might add it to ESS.
