Hi All,
I am using R version 2.7.2, XEmacs version 21.4 and ESS version 5.3.8, but I've had this behaviour before.
Upon starting XEmacs and R, I usually load several functions, using the .Rprofile startup files. Sometimes, there is an error in one of the functions being loaded at this stage (often because they were incomplete from last session), and what happens is that I get an "error Timeout waiting for prompt. Check inferior-ess-prompt or ess-loop-timeout". I started XEmacs with the --debug-init option, but the -debug-init buffer comes completely empty.
My problem is that when this happens I lose the R prompt, and I cannot find out how to regain access to R. I tried the C-g suggestion (many times) but it does not work.
I would really appreciate any assistance.
Pedro
