Fwd: Re: Newbie start-up problem

[Tom Masterson]

Ah-ha! Indeed, in site-start.el (which I copied from 
you 8{] ) I have:
     (load-library "ess-site")

I commented it out, and at the end put a line to look 
for my "_emacs" file. And R is working. Life is good! 
Thanks! And I will upgrade as soon as I get to work
(with the fast connection).
