Xemacs, ESS, R config issue

I've searched for 45 minutes, apparently in all the wrong places for a
solution to a configuration issue I'm having.

When I use Xemacs with ESS running in R-mode, and I type a "-" character, it
autocompletes it to "<- ".  How do I disable this annoying "feature"?

Thanks much.

I think you mean an underscore "_" rather than a hyphen "-"?

If you type "__" (a double underscore) you will get an underscore. 

If you want to disable that feature, put the following:

  (ess-toggle-underscore nil)

in your init.el file after the point where ESS is loaded.


BTW, there is a dedicated ESS list:
