[ESS] xargs XEmacs bug squashed

[John Fox]

Dear Rodney,

Yes, that works, but I find it very odd: That is, when I updated xemacs-base
with the pre-release version, I assumed that this would *replace* the
current version of the package. Obviously that's not the case.

Anyway, everything works now, and when I have a chance (soon), I'll update
my init file and instructions.

I'm copying this response to ess-help. Just to be clear: When xemacs-base is
updated via the package tool to fix the "xargs" problem, it's necessary to
remove the older version of the package, which is in
C:\XEmacs\Packages\xemacs-packages\lisp. The new version is in
C:\XEmacs\Packages\lisp.

Thanks for clearing this up,
 John
