[ESS] ESS 5.3.0: calling Rterm with additional options

[Pfaff, Bernhard Dr.]

Many thanks for your fast reply! Both solutions work as expected.

Best,
Bernhard 


	One way --
	 
	C-u M-x R
	 
	and enter...  I would assume that you really don't need the
second option (though might need the first).
	 
	See also "inferior-R-args"  (i.e. something like, very untested,
(setq inferior-R-args "--internet2")
	)

		Dear list subscriber,
		
		I wonder how I can supply additional options to Rterm,
e.g. --internet2
		or --max-mem-size=1Gb on Windows XP. 
		
		If I simply add them in ess-site.el or similarily in
.emacs after the
		path to Rterm and do a M-x R, I get the error message of
a spawning
		child process with an invalid argument, i.e.
		
		neither with the line in ess-site.el nor in .emacs like:
		
		(setq inferior-R-program-name
"C:/R/R-2.3.0/bin/Rterm.exe --internet2")
		
		achieves the desired result. I do have included the bin
directory to R
		in my environmental variable 'PATH' and calling Rterm
without options 
		works flawlessly. Any pointers or help are most welcome.
		
		Best,
		Bernhard
