[ESS] select.list problem with ESS

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, All: 

      I have a problem with 'select.list' under "GNU Emacs and ESS for 
Windows (by Vincent Goulet)", installed just a couple of days ago per 
the instructions on "http://ess.r-project.org/".  To see the problem, 
try the following: 

      library(FinTS)
      runscript(method='dir')

      The 'runscript' function calls 'select.list'.  On my computer, 
this locks up Emacs on the call to 'select.list' the first time I do 
it.  If I break out of this, it seems to work fine the second time.  See 
"Emacs sessionInfo" below. 

      I get much worse symptoms for this same thing under 'XEmacs 21.4 
(patch 20) "Double Solitaire" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Sat Dec 09 2006 
on VSHELTON-PC2
Package: ess-mode 5.3.6':  It locked up XEmacs every time time I've 
tried it.  It tries to open the selection window but fails.  An empty 
option selection window remains after I break out of 'runscript' until I 
quit that R session. 

      Do you have any suggestions for how I can get around this problem 
-- preferably by altering ESS somehow but by modifying the 'runscript' code

      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves
