Dear Jim,
Having the bin subdirectory for R, in which rterm.exe resides, on the
search path suffices for me using XEmacs under Windows 2000. You could try
adding the following line to your .emacs file (altering the path, of
course, to reflect the location of rterm.exe on your system):
(setq-default inferior-R-program-name "c:/Program
Files/rwxxxx/bin/rterm.exe")
I hope that this helps,
John
