There is a list for ESS where this would be more appropriate, (see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help) so I'll Cc this to ess-h...@stat.math.ethz.ch. |> How do I set the working directory when using ESS and R under |> windows? When I try to launch R, it asks for a directory. In |> windows, it simply doesn't let you pick a directory on the 'open' But you can go about it a simpler way. It's clumsy compared to what you can do in Linux, but with Windows, I find it easiest to associate file type *.R to GnuEmacs so that in Windows Explorer, you just click on the file name (make one to keep your R code in the right directory if you don't already have one) and you automatically have Emacs in the right directory so there's no need to change. Part of the charm of ESS is that it comes with the charms of Emacs. In particular, dired is very useful where you can change directories to your heart's content without getting out of GnuEmacs.
