[ESS] 'Can't get splus2000 to work with ESS'

[Fredrik Lundgren]

Hello,

I use Win XP, Xemacs 21.4.13, ESS 5.2.3, and Splus 2000.
I also use R 2.0.1 which work without problems with ESS. My init.el with 
respect to ESS as seen below. My PATH as seen below.

I start with loading Xemacs with a scipt 'something.s' and menus ESS and 
Imenu-S shows up OK on Xemacs.

First I try to start the inferiro S process from the meny
ESS/Start process/Sqpe
I get prompted for working directory
Xemacs responds:
Searching for program: No such file or directory, 
c:/program~1/insigh~1/splus6/cmd
which is correct as I've got Sqpe in
C:\Program\sp2000\cmd

Next I try with M-x S4
and is prompted for directory OK
Xemacs responds:
Searching for program: No such file or directory, S4

Next I try with M-x S+4
Xemacs starts fontifying *S+4*... (takes long time)
and opens *S+4*, *S+6*, and *S4* in separate windows.
In *S+4* the output is
$ c:/progra~1/spls45se/cmd/Splus.exe /MULTIPLEINSTANCES 
S_PRINT_COMMAND=gnuclientw.exe 
S_PROJ=c:\Program\sp2000\users\FL\S-PLUS~2\Dobson
c:/progra~1/spls45se/cmd/Splus.exe: not found
$
Theres is also the $ prompt and when I try
$ ls()
the prompt changes to >
> ls()
the prompt changes to $

Evidently my Xemacs/ESS can't find sqpe.exe in
C:\Program\sp2000\cmd and looks for it in c:/progra~1/spls45se/cmd/

How do I tweak init.el or whatever so this works?

Many thanks in advance
and best wishes
