The connection from ESS to the S-Plus GUI is working correctly.
You have finished the installation and are
ready to do statistical analysis.  Congratulations.

The *S* buffer is a placeholder that must exist for the communication to work.
It does not need to be visible.

>From the myfile.s buffer, send over individual lines with C-x C-n,
or send over a region of highlighted lines with C-x C-r.  They
will show up in the S-Plus GUI Commands window and get executed there.

If you are trying to duplicate Unix ESS behavior, and run S-Plus inside
an emacs buffer, then you must start it on Windows with
M-x Sqpe
Interactive graphics with Sqpe on Windows requires

          library(winjava)
          java.graph()


You might want to look at some of the supplementary documentation that
comes with ESS in the doc directory.
