[ESS] SAS mode font-lock-mode problem

[Scott E. Chapal]

I have been using ESS off and on for several years, orignally with
Xemacs and more recently with GNU Emacs ... but always in X.

Now, i am using Emacs via PuTTY from Windows :(

When I open a SAS file, I get this this Lisp error:
wrong-type-argument symbolp ""

If  I try to open the file a second time, it opens, but font-locking
isn't enabled. Any idea how to handle this?

Thanks,

Scott Chapal
