Dear List,

I've been using Dr. John Fox's configuration for these three programs 
(http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ESS/), with version 
1.07 of ESS (the one that is bundled with XEmacs 21.4.13), and version 
1.9.0 of R, without a problem for some time. I've recently upgraded to 
ESS 5.2.0, and found no problems running ESS and R with my own XEmacs 
init file containing simple customizations. However, when I start XEmacs 
with Dr. Fox's init file, the scratch buffer is now shown in the bottom, 
R in the top window, and the scratch buffer doesn't seem to be in R mode 
(as specified in the init file). Everything else seems to work fine (all 
menus are there), and interaction with R is possible by using the upper 
window for both user input and R output (not very good!). I can't find 
any obvious reconfiguration needed in Dr. Fox's init file to adjust for 
the upgrade in the ESS version. If there are other users of this 
configuration in the list, I'd be greatful to hear what changes, if any, 
you had to incorporate into that init file. Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Sebastian
