Hi,

I use Textmate, but every now and then I like to try out aquamacs.
I've just downloaded it from < http://aquamacs.org/ >, where ESS is part of the package. It runs flawlessly for me, out of the box. I just opened a r file, clicked the big R icon, then simply highlighted part of the code and Cc-Cr to evaluate it. For some reason the default graphics device turned out to be x11() but that's a minor detail to configure.

All,

Apologies if this was already answered... I couldn't find an answer that specifically addressed Mac OS instead of either windows or linux. I use "aquamacs emacs" as my text editor. It is essentially Xemacs with a GUI that looks closer to standard Mac GUIs, as far as I can tell. I installed the GUI-friendly Mac version of R. I can have R choose the aquamacs as the
editor of choice, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do any script
executions. E.g., highlighting part of the script and then hitting CTRL-R
or something similar to get just a portion of the script to run.
I would install ESS, since I know that is supposed to help emacs talk to R, but I have no confidence that it either (a) works for the Mac (if so, do I install the unix version? if I do that, can I only run it on my Mac via the unix command calls?), or (b) works with the aquamacs editor. I don't care about the editor so much, I could find a less fancy text editor. But I
don't really know how to install ESS properly on a mac.

                          Thanks in advance!
                                      Mike
