emacs and R

At the suggestion of many people, I have installed emacs on my linux (Fedora 8.0) computer with the intention of using emacs as window interface to R (2.6.0). I have gone though the emacs tutorial and don't see any information about how I should use emacs to run R. Can anyone suggest a document that I might read? In the past I have used R on a Windows XP system and used the built-in windowing interface.
Download Emacs Speak Statistics which is a LISP package for emacs. http://ess.r-project.org/
It's easier still (on F8):
yum install emacs-ess
and you may also notice the user-friendly menus supplementing the key
combinations below. These appear automagically if you are in an R
interaction buffer, or a .R or .Rout file.
-p
When installed you can e.g.
M-x R Start an R process in Emacs
%
C-c C-c Sends a Control-C signal to the ESS process.
This has the effect of aborting the current command.
%
C-c M-b Send the contents of the edit buffer to the ESS process
and returns you to the ESS process buffer as well.
%
C-c M-r Send the text between point and mark to the ESS process and
returns to the ESS process buffer afterwards.
%
C-c M-j Send the line containing point to the ESS process, and
return to the ESS process buffer.
%
C-c C-n Sends the current line to the ESS process,
echoing it in the process buffer, and moves point to the
next line.
%
C-M-q Indents each line in the expression.
%
M-; Indents an existing comment line appropriately, or inserts
an appropriate comment marker.
