Aloha Yu, I favor Eric Schulte's solution for reproducible research, which you can find here: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v46/i03 The trick is to launch a fresh instance of Emacs and supply it with an initialization file tailored to the content. Eric uses a Makefile for this, and I've been able to copy and tweak his Makefile for use on other projects. hth, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
