[ESS] Cant kill R -process

[Paul Leo]

Thank-you for the quick response ... C-g worked a treat.  
My apologies if this is a frequent newbie question , I had only gone
back a few months in the email archives before I opted for immediate
gratification...

Thanks again
Paul

C-g gives you command back to emacs, after which C-c C-g essentially  
stops it (like C-c in a shell).
