configuration for R with ESS + XEmacs

[John Fox]

Dear John,

I'm afraid that I can't help you much, since I don't use Sweave. I guess 
that files of type .Rnw or .nw aren't recognized as R source files, so the 
menus and key bindings for R source code aren't used. It shouldn't be hard 
to change this, but I don't know where to look. I'm sure that someone else 
on the ESS list will be able to help.

Sorry,
  John
