I don't get it. I forgot to mentioned in my original post that my .bashrc did
contain the lines
PATH=$PATH:/home/david/lib/emacs23/bin
export PATH
PATH=$PATH:/home/david/lib/R-2.10.0/bin
export PATH
but this was not enough to get M-x R working in emacs. I suppose emacs
needs to
know where to find .bashrc or that I use bash and not some other shell, but I
do use the default location (~/.bashrc) so why was this not a solution?

David
