16 * (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
38 * (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.
