Subject: emacs and R
In-Reply-To: <47CACA83020000CB0002B9C4@medicine.umaryland.edu>
> 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.
