;;; Commentary:

;; The purpose of this file is to demonstrate some of the extras that
;; have been constructed for the ESS R mode; if they prove
;; interesting, then they might be migrated to ess-r-d, the primary
;; ESS R mode tools.

;;; Code:

;; you can invoke ESS/R from emacs by typing
;;      C-u M-x essr
;; with vsize set to (for example) 40M, and nsize set to 600000.
