Knowledgeable enough in this language

Yes, up to this point,
I have kind of followed
a combo of Kasper's doc and John
Fox's doc. I think right now,
I've got it to the point
it's something in the 
ess-site.el code syntax
which is the equivalent
of a STOP sign
me because that file
is probably WAYYYYY beyond my 
understanding.

Yes, I can understand that. I also contemplate going
back to Prof. Fox's document and figuring out that
path. It seems that would provide some emacs 'field
experience'. Also I sense that Prof. Goulet approach
is a turn-key very directed to get his students up and
running. Dr. Fox's material 'teaches one to fish' so
to speak...well which end of the pole to hold ;O). 

Happy New Year all.

Michael Grant
