Ah, I see,  I wasn't sure how the code should be added.

Loading a .R file opens ESS and M-x R loads R, and the assign symbol
is in blue-green and executed commands in are bold, but that seems to
be the only syntax highlighting I get. I was expecting to see more.
But I don't have a line in emacs explicitly loading it (I have
installed  ESS via synaptic on Ubuntu)
