This makes me think that the .First is being processed before some of the other initializations. I had been assuming it is the very last thing done before it gives me control.
Yes, see ?Startup for the details. I think the startup sequence hasn't changed in 1.9.0 (though the documentation for it is now more accurate), but the rearrangement of packages means that things that worked before in .First won't work now.
on the q() issue, I report it as a continuation of behavior that has been discussed
on this list. I don't remember when. It has been an issue for me for a long time.
I am currently on XP HOME, I see this also on NT4.
I normally type just q()
This time I tried q("no").
It still freezes. I have to enter C-G to unfreeze emacs and then use the Task Manager
to kill the Rterm process.
Sorry, didn't notice the earlier discussion. Sounds like an interaction with ESS. Which Emacs are you using (and perhaps, where can I get it? I have XEmacs installed on one machine, but not this one). Duncan Murdoch
