Hello,

on Linux it works out of the box, but on Windows I had similar problems
(Xemacs-21.4.13 and Win2k). First, you must be sure, that .xemacs is in your
home directory. I don't use the standards of win2k and set the
environment variable HOME=D:\

My simple .xemacs/init.el file looks as follows.

(defun Rnw-mode ()
   (require 'ess-noweb)

   (if (fboundp 'R-mode)
       (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode)))

(setq reftex-file-extensions

(setq tex-file-extensions
       '("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" "Stex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"))
