R help - Feb 2003 - problems with ess and xemacs on win32

Hi there;

I have the following problem --- Xemacs cannot 
correctly parse a path to file when I load it.

I have the following error, reported by Xemacs:

from  ess-parse-errors:
Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open file
`u:US-mortalityjuttalexible.r
While the correct file path should be:
u:\US-mortality\jutta\flexible.r

Any ideas? Many thanks for your help.

Try reversing the slashes:


u:/US-mortality/jutta/flexible.r

Also, there is a xemacs newsgroup (comp.emacs.xemacs) as well as an ess 
mailing list (ess-help at stat.math.ethz.ch) for these types of questions.
