I have two sessions open in Emacs-ESS: one on my desktop and one on a server using tramp. How can I tell ESS which session to use?

To run ESS in Emacs you have to first download the compressed eLisp source files and install them according to the following instructions. As different file compression formats are routinely used for different operating systems both <. tgz> (Unix/Linux) and <. zip> (MS Windows) file formats are provided.
Start up Emacs without a file argument - just type emacs & at the prompt. Now execute R-mode - enter M-x R Think of M-x as `execute' and `R' for R. Emacs will then ask you for your R Starting Directory - enter the directory where you want to create a new (or open an already existing one) .
Well I use
M-x ess-switch-process
all the time to switch between my (local) R sessions inside Emacs. Sections 3.2 has details.
Edit As a follow-up to aL3xa's comment, I also have these in a my dot.emacs:
(require 'uniquify)
(setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'post-forward-angle-brackets)
; Slightly more debatable
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-b") 'ibuffer)
which makes the process switch much nicer. Kudos to CGWalters, another Emacs user from whom I copied this.
