My setup: GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600), ESS 5.3.8, Windows XP Sometimes in my ESS help buffer I see: \221Character indices\222 instead of 'Character indices'. Is this normal? Is there a setting that controls this? I experimented with MULE settings, but that did not seem to have any effect. Thanks for any tips, Kevin
