How to stop emacs from replacing underbar with <- in ess-mode

underbar

ess-mode is "Emacs speaks statistics." This mode is useful for editing programs for R or Splus (two separate statistics packages).

In my buffer, when ever I type '_' the character is replaced with "<-" which is very frustrating. Is there a emacs lisp statement to turn off this behavior?

Thanks,

SetJmp emacs: 22.1.1 ess-mode release (unknown)

Is there any reason for this? How can I fix it? My default… >>> More
