problems with ess, xemacs on win32

[Serge Boiko]

Hi there;

I have the following problem --- Xemacs cannot 
correctly parse a path to file when I load it.

I have the following error, reported by Xemacs:

from  ess-parse-errors:
Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open file
`u:US-mortalityjuttalexible.r
While the correct file path should be:
u:\US-mortality\jutta\flexible.r

I tried to specify path using double slashes (\\) or using / but it
had no effect.

Any ideas? Many thanks for your help.
