And I now see that the default to submit a line is C-c C-j, I had
misread it as C-c M-j

Yes, I'm mostly a keyboard maven but I pretty much only go to submitting
a line at a time (instead of my beloved C-c C-c) when I'm in mental
debugging mode when lifting my fingers from the keyboard and
contemplatively clicking through has become my preferred option.
Creature of habit me.  I think I'll find the slightly different
distribution of commands across the menus a muddling factor too but
oddly enough I've always used Emacs on my linux box (usually in an
utterly basic ssh shell window from remote windoze so toolbars no issue
there and very rarely editing R).  Maybe I should transfer and unify
what I do!

Yes and it's one of those wonderful touches that should that the
brilliant programmers who created ESS are also real users, or can think
like them!

And I'm probably now wasting list time pursuing the fact that this
doesn't seem to come up on invoking ESS in my installation of Emacs/ESS!

Cheers all,
