[ESS] ESS in XEmTeX - update and solved

[Michael Sumner]

Hello - it turns out I can make the R and LaTeX syntax and functionality 
work together in XEmTeX by including the ESS load up line, i.e.

(load "C:/emacs/site-lisp/ess-5.2.8/lisp/ess-site.el")

in my ~/.xemacs/custom.el file, rather than in  
../XEmTeX/site-packages/lisp/site-start.el
I don't know why that disables the LaTeX stuff.

Still no luck associating the program with .R files for "Open With", I 
think the program is not being setup in the registry, but it's weird 
that the usual manual "Open With" association doesn't work.
(But of course that's nothing to do with ESS).

Cheers, Mike.
