I think that you may need  to check this, to verify that you are
indeed able to run R.    I.e. read through it to see if there are
things to change!

(BTW, R 1.4.0 or R 1.3.1 maybe preferred to R 1.3.0).

So, from a command shell (dos box, whatever) you should be able to run
Rterm.  Can you?

You need to end it with ess-site.el, so that you'll load the code (the
directory will not help), i.e. 
        (load ""c:/emacs-20.7/lisp/emacs-lisp/ess-5.1.19/lisp/ess-site.el")

    j>      If you wish to run R, you can start it with:
    --------------> did not work in emacs
    j>                     	M-x R

What did not work?  I'm guess that it said something like command not found?
