[ESS] ess-r-args-show

[Felix Andrews]

I also can not get ess-eldoc to work in a file.R buffer, even though
emacs tells me that it is active as a minor mode. Strangely enough
ess-eldoc does work in the *R* buffer since I added this to my .emacs:
(add-hook 'inferior-ess-mode-hook 'ess-use-eldoc)

And yes, the *R* was started directly from the file.R buffer but
ess-eldoc still does not work...

R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08)
Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)  [Ubuntu 11.04]

ess 5.14-1natty0

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (23.2+1-7ubuntu2)


Cheers
Felix
