[R] Emacs and ESS help

[Data Analytics Corp.]

Hi,

I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail.  How are these 
things suppose to work with R - or work, period?  I downloaded the 
latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation 
says.  But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 
'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs.  Where is /.emacs????  I opened 
the ess-site.el file and it also says to add the line to /.emacs.  Can 
anyone help me on this?  And once I get this problem fixed, how do I 
interact with R or any other package (S+, Stata, SAS, etc.)?  I'm 
running Windows Vista on a Thinkpad.

Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Walt
