I think the trick is to set the sas buffer as an inferior buffer via
inferior-ess-mode.  Then in my sas file buffer, I can do C-c C-s to
switch to that process (it's listed now).  However, when trying to
send code with C-c C-r, C-c C-j, or C-c i, there is an error.  The
messages buffer shows:

Starting evaluation...
process-put: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

The docstring of inferior-ess-mode seems to describe R/S, so maybe it
only works for that dialect?
