Jim and Vincent, thank you both so much. Vincent, I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into this project. I was hoping for exactly what you've provide. Thanks, again.

Kevin,

Save yourself a lot of trouble and use my modified version of GNU  
Emacs available from

	http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs

and also linked from the ESS home page. It comes bundled with ESS and  
AUCTeX, so the only other thing you will need to install for the  
purposes you mention is R itself (upgrade while you're at it, you're  
two versions behind) and a TeX distribution (consider TeX Live or  
MiKTeX). There is no need for Cygwin with this setup.

Hope this helps
