transcript file to use.  If there is no transcript file, the
buffer name will be like *R* or *R2*, determined by
`ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function'.

displayed.

If an optional second argument OUT-BUFFER exists save the output

will be preserved.

`ess-command' is executes CMD in the background synchronously,
meaning that the Emacs UI blocks while CMD is running. Make sure
that CMD returns immediately. Blocking the UI for more than 0.1
seconds should generally be considered a bug.

SLEEP is deprecated and no longer has any effect. WAIT,
FORCE-REDISPLAY, and TIMEOUT are as in `ess-wait-for-process' and
are passed to `ess-wait-for-process'. The default timeout is 30
seconds. The process is interrupted with `interrupt-process' when
the timeout is reached or when an error occurs.

PROC should be a process, if nil the process name is taken from
`ess-local-process-name'.  This command doesn't set \\='last-eval
