configuration for R with ESS + XEmacs

[John.Gavin at ubsw.com]

Hi,

I would like to use Xemacs with John Fox's 
configuration files as per 
http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ess.pdf 
I believe that I have followed the instructions in
http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/fox-ESS-config.zip
but I need help with a Xemacs Warning that occurs when
I load a file with the extension *.Rnw or *.nw into Xemacs.
e.g. if I load the sample Rnw file in 
...\R\rw1061\library\tools\Sweave\Sweave-test-1.Rnw

The warning is
"(1) (local-variables/warning) File local-variables error: 
Symbol's value as variable is void: noweb-font-lock-mode"

Apart from the warning, everything seems to work
as per the doucmentation except that the ESS 
menu option is not visible when in a *.Rnw buffer
and the usual command dont work 
e.g. pressing the R toolbar buttons works
but C-c C-n to send a line into R is 'not defined'.

I looked for "noweb-font-lock-mode" in xemacs,
and found it in 
XEmacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ess/noweb-font-lock-mode.el.
(I have installed all of the packages with Xemacs.)
============
> cd c:/etc/xemacs
> grep -r "noweb-font-lock-mode" *.*
c:\etc\xemacs>grep -r "noweb-font-lock-mode" *.*

==============

The file 'xemacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\ess\noweb-font-lock-mode.el'
says
==============
;;  To use it, you must add 
;;  (require noweb-font-lock-mode) to your .emacs file. 
==============
But setting this in ...\.xemacs\.init.el file didnt help.

I searched my .xemacs folder but found nothing.
==============
> cd p:/.xemacs
> grep -r "noweb-font-lock-mode" *.*
p:\.xemacs>grep -r "noweb-font-lock-mode" *.* 
==============

Using 'M-x noweb-describe-mode' within Xemacs
I get a help buffer but it doesnt mention
noweb-font-lock-mode as an option.

I also tried removing 'noweb-font-lock-mode.el'
and 'noweb-font-lock-mode.elc' from
'...\xemacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\ess' but
this had no effect.

If I remove the first line of
...\R\rw1061\library\tools\Sweave\Sweave-test-1.Rnw
i.e. '% -*- mode: noweb; noweb-default-code-mode: R-mode; -*-'
then the error goes away but I dont see the ess
buffer anymore.

My feeling is that I have a basic mistake but I cant see it.
Can anyone help, please?

(I am on NT4 with R 1.6.1, Xemacs 21.4 (April 2001])
with all the packages installed.)

Regards,

John.
