* [babel] Cannot use R and sh

Hi all,

when using R and shell commands, the shell commands are sent to the R
buffer. I guess this has something to do with the session argument?!

############# test.org #####################

#+property: session *R*


#+BEGIN_SRC R
## comment
1+1
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: 2


#+BEGIN_SRC sh
ls -a
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: Error: object 'a' not found

############# test.org #####################

Thanks,

Bernd

Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.393.g8caa)

AFAIK, the syntax is (note the BABEL and the :session)

#+BABEL: :session *R*

With that, I can certainly reproduce what you get and it
is indeed the global session that causes it. If you
want a global session for all the other code blocks but
want to override it for the single shell block, you can do:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :session *SH*
ls -a
#+END_SRC

Thanks, Nick, for your reply! I hadn't thought about overriding the "R
session". Good idea!

With respect to the "#+BABEL..." syntax, I vaguely remember that this is
deprecated. The Org Mode Manual, however, (still) mentions both ways...
<http://orgmode.org/org.html#Header-arguments-in-Org_002dmode-properties>.


Again, thanks,

Bernd

Earlier this year, Dan Davison wrote:

"Please note that it is possible to make an equivalent setting using

#+PROPERTY: session *R*

In fact, I suspect we are going to drop #+BABEL entirely, so please
consider it deprecated and use this form instead."

I am wondering if this statement still holds true?

Yes, I would hope to drop #+BABEL: this at some point.  In fact perhaps
this should happen sooner rather than later i.e., before the last merge
of Org-mode into Emacs before the release of Emacs24.

If there is no complaint I may make this change in the Org-mode git
repository now.
