Hi,
Yes, I defined the HOME environment variable as instructed in the installation instructions. Also, I can happily switch buffers in Emacs (C-x C-b or using C-x C-o) to the R-window and back to the .r file I am editing without any problem...
If it matters, I am using Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop, and the latest version of R.
Thanks, Suresh

Suresh,
Did you define a HOME environment variable for Emacs to use (as instructed in the installation instructions)? I observed that when the HOME variable is not defined (or points to a non-existent directory), Emacs will freeze as soon as one toggles from the Emacs window to another application and back to Emacs.
And of course, I should have written FSF Emacs in my original post, not FSG.
Hope this helps!

I apologize in advance if I shouldnt have been writing to you directly; but I thought that my problem was simple enough that you could very quickly say if you knew of a quick fix for this.
Because I am familiar with the Emacs editor, I was happily and gratefully using your packaged version of FSG Emacs after you suggested it here on the list (R-help); but I have run into a problem that occurs
when i run: >x=1; >y=1; >par(ask=T) >plot(x,y)
emacs/ess/r now freezes because it is waiting for me to hit enter to see the next plot, however, when i hit enter, i am not sure R is able to realize that i hit enter. also, the "hit enter to see next plot" message is not displayed in the window with the r process.
If this is a problem that is somehow specific to what I am doing, then please let me know. I have switched back to JGR and the mouse, until then.
Thanks !!

If you're willing to use FSG Emacs instead of XEmacs, I repackaged Emacs 21.3 for Windows together with recent versions of ESS and AuCTeX for my students (I personally run Linux). The package and installation instructions are at:
http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/download/software/emacs/
(Look for files emacs-21.3-ready.zip, emacs_install_en.txt and perhaps ess_s-plus_win_en.txt.)
Hope this helps!

I have finally seen the error of my ways and have decided to use ESS for R and S + stuff.
However, I have a question right from the beginning. I'm somewhat confused by the installation instructions.
Do I install XEMACS or ESS first, please?
Windows XP R Version 2.0.1 (S + 6.2)
Thanks so much!
