* (RMH) system freeze and ctrl-m, a solution for some cases.
18
Frequently, when the *shell* buffer freezes while running
19
either COMMAND.COM or a DOS or Windows program initiated by
20
command.com, it can be unfrozen by entering the key sequence C-q
21
C-m RET into the frozen buffer.
23
What I think is happening is the coding-system got confused.
24
Command.com is waiting for the C-m C-l sequence and it only sees
25
the C-l, which it knows is not the end of the line. When
26
we manually give the C-m, followed by RET, it is happy and
27
completes parsing the line.
29
For example, from a *shell* buffer running bash (with ps in the
32
command.com ps C-q C-m RET exit C-q C-m RET
34
command.com /c date RET C-q C-m RET
36
command.com /c date C-q C-m RET

* (RMH) Changes in essd-r.el for Windows
40
One of the design goals in ESS was to make it almost
41
unnecessary for users to make modifications to the ess-*.el files.
42
We have split the R function into two clones. R-unix is the old
43
R function. It uses the starting argument "-no-readline ".
44
R-microsoft is designed for Windows. It uses the starting
45
argument "-ess ". We detect the operating system and fset the
46
name R to whichever is appropriate. No user changes are
47
required. M-x R always works.
51
Start an msdos shell inside an NTemacs that normally uses
52
bash as its shell. It should have been easy, but had many
53
parameters that needed to be set. I am sending a copy of
54
this to the Ntemacs mailing list. I think this function
55
should be merged into the Ntemacs distribution, but for the moment
56
I am attributing it to us.
