[ESS] ess-julia.el

[Gustavo Lacerda]

First of all, I want to congratulate you guys for making this.

I just wanted to say that I was going down the same road as Jay,
trying to figure out why commands entered directly onto the julia REPL
don't echo (while commands sent to the REPL do).  After looking in the
wrong place for a bit, I found the checkmark: iESS menu > Process >
Process Echoes.  And now it works.... but if I restart emacs, I need
to set it again.

Is it a bad idea to edit ess-inf.el, line 2194?

Thanks!

Gustavo

P.S. I noticed that there is a tiny speck on the shell (which looks
like a low backquote), indicating the last command entered through the
shell (rather than thru ESS).  Is this an intentional feature?
