That is where it is.  Use the line

(load-file "C:/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/lisp/ess-site.el") 

in your ~/.emacs file

	Thanks.  I have verified the path where ess-site.el sits, it is
indeed C:/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/lisp/ess-site.el
	Just to clarify, I created C:/ess and unzipped the zip file
there to install it there resulting in this directory structure.
	Does that not mean that is where ESS is?  Please clarify what
you mean by "where ESS is".  Thanks.

	Since you say neither statement works, that suggests that ESS in
in neither
	place.  Please verify where ESS is.

	Another possibility, actually quite likely, is that you put ESS
in a non-standard place.
	Therefore the (load ...) command won't work.  You will need the
longer statement
	(load-file "C:/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/lisp/ess-site.el") 
	Again verify that you have the correct pathname.

	Also, the etiquette of this list is that you stay on the list
and do not reply individually
	to senders.

		they are not the same.  ESS is not inside your personal

			Thank you for your quick reply.  I verified that
I do have 2 levels of ess-5.13 and as such I created ~/.emacs and in
there put:
			(load "~/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/lisp/ess-site")

			but afterwards I fired up GNU emacs again but
still no *ESS* recognition

			Windows itself won't create names beginning with
".".  If you create that file name
			inside emacs, it will exist.  The "~" is the
convention for your home directory.
			Open the file 
			C-x C-f ~/.emacs <RET>
			Emacs will create the file if it isn't already
there.
			Add the correct load statement for your machine
and then save it with
			C-x C-s
			Are you sure that you have two levels of
ess-5.13?  Usually only one level
			is in the path.

			The ESS instructions for Windows are correct.
You must follow them absolutely
			literally.

				C:/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/
				C:/Program Files/GNU EMACS/site-lisp/

				The installation instructions at

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html suggests adding (load

"C:/ess/ess-5.13/ess-5.13/lisp/ess-site") to ~/.emacs

				Where exactly should the .emacs be?
Does it already exist or do I have

(subdirs.el) under C:/Program

				Also, in Windows (as opposed to Unix) I
thought file names starting with
				a "." is prohibited, no?

				Please advise.  Thanks.
