    SLIME is to ILISP.  At present, ESS mode remains active in R source
    buffers, providing font-locking functionality among other things.
 * Installation
-** Running
-   To begin using swankr:
-
-   1. start R;
-   2. load the swank.R file:
-#+BEGIN_SRC R
-      source("swank.R")
-#+END_SRC
-   3. at the R prompt, run
-#+BEGIN_SRC R
-      swank();
-#+END_SRC
-   4. within emacs, load and initialize slime;
-#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
-      (require 'slime)
-      (slime-setup '(slime-repl))
-#+END_SRC
-   5. run =M-x slime-connect=, accepting the default host and port,
-      and acknowledging the protocol version mismatch.
+** Emacs configuration
+*** Installing SLIME
+    SLIME is required separately from swankr.  To install slime,
+    perhaps the simplest is to pull the CVS sources into a
+    user-specific site directory, and arrange for that to be on the
+    emacs =load-path=; I did
+#+begin_src sh
+mkdir -p ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp
+cd ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/cvsroot co slime
+#+end_src
 
-   At this point, an R REPL should appear.
-** Emacs customization
-   At a minimum, slime needs to be set up to function.  I've
-   used the following forms in my =~/.emacs=
-#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
-   (require 'slime)
-   (slime-setup '(slime-repl slime-scratch slime-media))
-#+END_SRC
-   The =slime-media= contrib is new and (at present) R-specific,
-   allowing for image results to be embedded in the REPL.
+    Following that, I have in my =~/.emacs= (you will need to adjust
+    paths to executables and source files):
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+;;; ~/.emacs.d/
+(let ((default-directory (concat user-emacs-directory (convert-standard-filename "site-lisp/"))))
+  (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))

+(require 'slime)
+(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)

+        (R ("R" "--no-save" "--max-vsize=4096M")
+           :init (lambda (port-filename coding-system)

+*** Additional refinements
    In addition, for keybindings like =C-c C-c= to work properly, emacs
    needs to be told how to guess where a function definition begins.
    This can be achieved with /e.g./

+*** Running
+    After performing the installation steps above, =M-- M-x slime RET R
