Re: windows ddeclient delay

I see the same delay behavior from emacs 21.3.50.1 and 22.1

I am using the official  emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip  with no added
packages.

Please have the S-Plus GUI visible.
Please start both versions

with
   emacs -q --no-site-file

then
   M-x load-file RET /your.path/to/ess-site.el

then
   M-x S+6-msdos-existing RET
and start timing.

I need to know how many seconds until the #S+6 line appears in the GUI
and how many more until the options(STERM='ddess') line appears in the GUI.

I am at a conference, so I won't be able to investigate thoroughly for
a few days.

Rich

 From C-h v ess-ask-for-ess-directory RET :

ess-ask-for-ess-directory is a variable defined in `ess-cust.el'.
Its value is t

Documentation:
*If non-nil, the process directory will be requested each time S is run.

(I think 't' is the default value.)

Re: starting dir

Vincent,

if I change that variable to nil then it just dumps me into the default
dir. what I wanted is to specify a default work dir which is not the emacs
dir.
thank you

Well, if the variable is 't', you should be prompted for a working  
directory (presuming you work with some flavor of S). The default  
that will prposed to you is what Emacs consider to be its current  
working directory, much like when you find a file.

For example, if you have a file ~/work/toto.R opened and you do 'M-x  
R RET', Emacs/ESS should prompt you for a working directory for the R  
session, proposing as default ~/work/.

Is this what you want?

Cheers,

Vincent

See also ess-directory:

(setq ess-directory "/tmp")
(setq ess-ask-for-ess-directory t)

M-x R

Hmm, I'm pretty sure he is looking  for ess-directory

commenting region

Is there a way to comment out a whole region in ESS similar to the emacs
capability in C and Fortran modes?

Thank you all

You should find that the same commenting commands apply in ESS to
those in C, e.g. M-; and M-x comment-region

7.5 Indenting and formatting S code
===================================

ESS now provides a sophisticated mechanism for indenting S source code
(thanks to Ken'ichi Shibayama).  Compound statements (delimited by `{'
and `}') are indented relative to their enclosing block.  In addition,
the braces have been electrified to automatically indent to the correct
position when inserted, and optionally insert a newline at the
appropriate place as well.  Lines which continue an incomplete
expression are indented relative to the first line of the expression.
Function definitions, `if' statements, calls to `expression()' and loop
constructs are all recognized and indented appropriately.  User
variables are provided to control the amount if indentation in each
case, and there are also a number of predefined indentation styles to
choose from.

   Comments are also handled specially by ESS, using an idea borrowed
from the Emacs-Lisp indentation style.  By default, comments beginning

Re: commenting region


M-; runs the command comment-dwim
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `newcomment.el'.
It is bound to M-;.
(comment-dwim arg)

Call the comment command you want (Do What I Mean).
If the region is active and `transient-mark-mode' is on, call
   `comment-region' (unless it only consists of comments, in which
   case it calls `uncomment-region').
Else, if the current line is empty, insert a comment and indent it.
Else if a prefix arg is specified, call `comment-kill'.
Else, call `comment-indent'.
You can configure `comment-style' to change the way regions are commented.

Google 'ESS comment region' for more discussion.

Re: commenting region

The short answer is "yes and it works in exactly the same way with  
the same keybinding" (M-;)

Did you try at all?
