Emacs & ESS under Windows

Now, when you open a *.R file, this opens directly Emacs and ESS. To run R under Emacs, type Alt-x R, and then Enter (this will open a DOS-like window, so you have to come back to Emacs). You switch between the different files, buffers, processes, ... with the menu "Buffers". When you edit a *.R file you can evaluate the R expressions with the "ESS" menu by selecting "eval buffer".
With the changes to the files, I was able to get this combination to work beautifully under Windows 2000. I'm an utter novice with Emacs & ESS, but figured that since I wanted some "scripting" capabilities for R like those built into S-Plus 2000 (& 6.0 & earlier version SP4+), this might be one way to accomplish it. Couple of questions: 2. I noticed that under Emacs+ESS + R I am unable to tile the graphics window of R with the buffer window of Emacs. Is there an Emacs (or ESS) sequence that forces the child windows to tile?
No, AFAIK. It's not a child window. It is a separate window from a separate Rterm process. This is like running RGui --sdi, not --mdi.
