Hi David:
I thought we fixed this. What do you see on lines 561-564 of
ess/lisp/essl-sas.el?
It should be:
(comment-start . "** ")
(comment-start-skip . "[*][*] ")
(comment-end . " **;")
(comment-end-skip . " [*][*];")
It works for me using xemacs on solaris, but that shouldn't make any
difference.
Thanks,
Rodney
