OK, excellent. If I put

---------------------
(require 'tramp)
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path)
----------------------

I can start the remote R session via M-x R and can then feed multiple lines.

I will bring up the Shell issue with the ESS developers.

Thanks for the help!
