Re: st: GNU Emacs, ESS and Stata

[Daniel Stegmueller <d.stegmueller@gmail.com>]

Chris,

integrating Stata's output is - like you've stated - impossible to  
achieve.

But you can define a global key that sends your selected lines from  
emacs to Stata using AppleScript (email me if you want it).  I use  
this combination all the time since Stata's editor is a royal  
pain.....  Plus I like to have just one editor for my R, Bugs and  
Stata programming.

Best,
Daniel
