Re: st: GNU Emacs, ESS and Stata

[Christopher Intemann <intemann@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I think
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/t/textEditors.html#emacs
is a good start.
However, I guess interactive mode in emacs not possible at this time.
It says:
"Currently, ESS does not support Stata to the same extent that it  
supports SAS and R. This is primarily due to the power that it has for  
handling I/O, and because recent versions of Stata (v7 and up) want to  
control this as much as possible."
I'm using emacs as well, as stata's built in editor is really a pain.
I'd be happy to learn about an alternative editor for stata which is  
capable of interactive mode, in particular for Mac OS X.
Thanks,
    Christ
