[ESS] ESS[SAS]: experience, fixes, and starting questions

[Sparapani, Rodney]

Hi Federico:

iESS[SAS] goes way back to the beginning of ESS.  At that time, interactive SAS
was thought to be a good idea.  However, batch SAS was quickly adopted as a
more prudent approach given that there was comparatively little interactive
support relative to R.  And the reason the F-keys are NOT turned on globally
by default is due to the GNU elisp standards that do not allow it.  So you have
to turn on your F-keys by yourself.  I do it like this in ~/.emacs

(setq ess-sas-global-unix-keys t)
(require 'ess-site)
