thanks McKay. Right after I wrote my email, I checked if not having HOMEÂ
set as an environment variable equal to %UserProfile$%
was the problem. and of course, that was it !!!!! I thought HOME was
automatically detected as %UseProfile" but I was obviously mistaken. The
commands in my current dotemacs file do the trick. Thanks a lot and I'm
sorry for the false alarm.

Try adding the following lines to your dotemacs file:
(setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input t)
(setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output t)

 Hi  All:  Please  bear with me because I'm totally lisp illiterate
and
 generallyà  clueless aboutà  the internals of emacs-ess.
 Let me give the background first:
 I have a windows xp desktop and I've been using emacs-essà  which I
obtained
 a while back from vincent goulet's distribution ( thanks vincent ). I
don't
 remember how I got it to wok but it is part of Gnu Emacs 22.3 and I've
 included the dotemacs file that I use in my home directory on my
desktop. I
 don't know which command in the dotemacs does it but one of them makes
it
 such that when you run commands in R, the scroll bar in the other
window
 moves down nicely so that you can see your output. It's all great. But,
of
 course, there'a a but:
 I recently got a laptop for my birthday and I'm taking it down to
Ruser2010
 for the Sweave tutorial. So today I downloaded vincent's
 disribution which now is based off GNU Emacs 23.2. So, I copied my
dotemacs
 file to the appropriate home directory on the laptop
 ( there it's called \users\markleeds. on my desktop it's documents and
 settings\mark leeds ). But when I test out the interaction
 of emacs-ess by bringing up a test.R file and running some basic
commands,
 the scroll bar behavior is that weird behavior where you can't see what
was
 run. and have to bring the scroll bar down manually with your mouse.
I'm not
 sure what else is not workng but that's
 definitely one thing. it essentially makes me not able to work in ess.
 I've looked around to see if I did any other things to get emacs-ess on
my
 desktop to work but it's been so long and I can't see anything.
 I vaguelyà  remember needing require or load somewhere but I don't see
( or
 don't  know  where  to find ) where I did something like that if I
did
 something like that.
 I think the problem might be either that A) on my laptop, my dotemacs
file
 is either not getting read or possibly it is getting read but then the
 commands are getting overrode by some command in another file ? or B)Ã
 I'm
 supposed to put require or load somewhereà  and I
 haven't.
 So,  if  someone knows what might be causing this problem, it's
really
 appreciated. I love emacs-ess but getting it work smoothly is
 always something that I run into troubles with. But eventually,à  when
I do
 get it to work, I'm a happy camper. ALso,à  thank you to all the
amazing
 people that created it and work on it.à  Also, thanks a lot for any
insight
 and I'm sorry for being so lost. Also,à  if you need
 other information, just let me know.
