In case people are interested in this: OS X comes with emacs 20.7.1, which runs in the terminal window (or in an xterm, if you are so inclined. The emacs you get from Apple does not have X11 support compiled in. Fink has emacs 20.7 with X11 support, emacs 21.1 with its Cocoa wrapper Emacs.app, and xemacs-21.4.3. I am not sure if all these emacses live together happily, but I do know that 21.1 Cocoa and 20.7.1 Terminal now both accept M-x R and allow you to run R and edit R files from their respective windows. If you want graphics windows, you can have them by running 20.7 X11 or 20.7 Terminal in an Xterm, or Xemacs. I will try some other combos, maybe. Of course I do not know if all the other inferior packages that can run as inferior processes using ESS also work. === Jan de Leeuw; Professor and Chair, UCLA Department of Statistics; US mail: 9432 Boelter Hall, Box 951554, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1554 phone (310)-825-9550; fax (310)-206-5658; email: deleeuw@stat.ucla.edu homepage: http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~deleeuw ======================================================== No matter where you go, there you are. --- Buckaroo Banzai http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~deleeuw/sounds/nomatter.au ========================================================
