[ESS] install ESS-5.3.6

[Vincent Goulet]

Catherine,

If you don't mind undoing part of your work, take advantage of mine  
to make your life easier and install a recent GNU Emacs with ESS  
bundled:

	http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs

Now to answer your question, at first you will not have a .emacs  
file. If you want to create one, it should be put in your "home"  
folder. You set this via an environment variable %HOME% pointing to  
any folder you want. My Emacs install will use the value of the  
variable %USERPROFILE%, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings 
\<your user name>.

You will find links pertaining to .emacs files in the Other Emacs  
Resources section of the page linked above.

HTH

Vincent
