[ESS] problem running ess/xemacs on windows2000

[John Fox]

Dear Ben,

I haven't seen this problem before, so I'm not sure what's causing it. Did
you take a look at the configuration instructions near the top of init.el to
insure that the settings correspond to your system?

Sorry for the problem.
 John
