I don't recall ever doing this for R, but this was quite a few years
ago.  Did it ever work for you in earlier versions of ESS?

Better to use setq -- as it will always update the value.  By contrast:

(defvar apple 1)
(defvar apple 2)

Evaluate both lines above, in order, and check "apple" -- it has the
value 1.
