[ESS] starting R on windows

[John Fox]

Dear David,

Try using forward-slashes (/) rather than back-slashes (\) in the path to
rterm.exe when you set inferior-R-program-name. If you edit the Windows
path, it should be to bin not to the executable. Perhaps you've already done
these things.

I hope this helps,
 John
