[ESS] M-n s is undefined

[Christopher W. Ryan]

I have been using Vince's modified version of emacs/ess for a very long
time. M-n s always reliably weaved .Rnw to .tex, and then M-n P reliably
generated .pdf from .tex.  It was easy, out-of-the-box, emacs asked me
no questions.  I guess I got spoiled.

I would like to learn and try using knitr and Rmarkdown.  From things I
read, that may be the way to go for the future. And allegedly easier to
teach beginners, which I may have occasion to do soon. Maybe I need
polymode for that.  But I have to be able to maintain my current
R/Sweave/Latex workflow for production documents, until I am up to speed
with knitr and friends.

Another thing I noticed--when I generate a pdf file, all the
undecipherable pdf output is *also* sent to the R output buffer in
emacs.  Very strange and distracting.

I had to guess. Then from the exporter, I was asked export to what?  Again I guessed, typing PDF.  End result was several new files, the usual .tex, .aux, and .log files, and a .pdf file but with [woven] and/or [woven][exported] in the file name.  All very cumbersome.
