Rear Ross,
I will *NOT* be able to help with SAS problems, but is there
really no way you could use a more current version of ESS ?
13.09 means Sept.2013 and this is a relatively long time in
ESS-time scale.
If you could use the last released version of ESS, 16.10,
and still experience the trouble you've mentioned,
I'm pretty sure that people on this list who do have SAS may be
much more motivated to help you.
Best regards,
Martin Maechler

Could the fact it is in a file that does not have a .sas extension be a factor? Also, I have problems exiting. BTW, http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/news.html doesn't show any SAS-related changes after 13-09-1.
