[ESS] can I make ess to recognise ~/.bashrc

[Jannis]

Ok, i tried the second approach as it seemed to be the most 
straightworward, but (contrary to may last email) it does not work. When 
I open a file C-x C-f remotecomputer:/path and start R (with M-x R), 
still the default paths are used. Any hints on how to debug this? Sorry 
for the hassle but I have very limited experience with this Lisp stuff.

Thanks

Jannis
