uncomment-region does not exist in xemacs. So, for xemacs:
(global-set-key "\C-u\C-c:" 'uncomment-region)
Just for the record, comment-region doesn't work in ESS[SAS]. I've tinkered
with it, but it seems to be confused by the fact that there are two different
types of comments; one handled by the syntax table, the other by font-lock
(actually there are 4, but whose counting). Of course, it is very easy to
bracket a region with '/*' and '*/' so I suspect that is why this problem has
been over-looked.
