6 @item (RMH) system freeze and ctrl-m, a solution for some cases.
8 Frequently, when the *shell* buffer freezes while running
9 either COMMAND.COM or a DOS or Windows program initiated by
10 command.com, it can be unfrozen by entering the key sequence
11 C-q C-m RET into the frozen buffer.
13 What I think is happening is the coding-system got confused.
14 Command.com is waiting for the C-m C-l sequence and it only
15 sees the C-l, which it knows is not the end of the line. When
16 we manually give the C-m, followed by RET, it is happy and
17 completes parsing the line.

38 One of the design goals in ESS was to make it almost
39 unnecessary for users to make modifications to the ess-*.el
40 files. We have split the R function into two clones.
41 R-unix is the old R function. It uses the starting argument
42 "--no-readline ". R-microsoft is designed for Windows. It
43 uses the starting argument "--ess ". We detect the
44 operating system and fset the name R to whichever is
45 appropriate. No user changes are required. M-x R
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
56 moment I am attributing it to us.
