You have to evaluate it somehow. If you are reading your mail in emacs,
just place the cursor after the closing paren and press C-x C-e. If not,
just go to emacs and "C-h i elisp RET i edebug RET" or equivalently,
type ESC ESC : (info "(elisp) Edebug") RET. Underlying assumption: you
have the Emacs Lisp info files installed.

C-u C-M-x please: and the echo area should say "Edebug:
org-babel-R-evaluate-external-process" afterwards.
