Re: .emacs file missing with emacsW32 (?)

[Quin Wills]

Thanks, but I'm still stuck.

I'm assuming you mean that I should then be creating my own .emacs file. 
I've done the following. I've created the following "~/.emacs", saying 
the following:

load "C:/Program Files/Emacs/site-lisp/ess-5.3.5/lisp/ess-site"

And using:  control panel > system > advanced > environment variables

added "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.1" to both "user variables for Quin" and 
"system variables" to point the way to R, as I understand from:

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation

And nothing. Oi.
