[ESS] Questions regarding R + Aquamacs + ESS

[Vinh Nguyen]

hey johannes,

i guess i understand your question number 2.  when sending code via
C-c M-r, sometimes the cursor doesn't go to the end of R session
buffer.  i had the same problem since using emacs 23.  i placed those
comint variables in my .emacs file and the cursor is going to the
bottom now.  this works for me, thanks.
