IM not sure where xp xemacs puts its init.el file either. Look under  
the Xemacs Options menu for an item that says "save init file" or  
"save settings" or something like that and see where it writes the  
"init.el" file.

That is the file that you need to edit.
Once know where that file is add this to it:

(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
(load "C:/utah/opt/cm/etc/xemacs/cm.el")
(setq cm-program "C:/utah/opt/cm/bin/cm.bat")
(enable-cm-commands)

then save the file and restart your emacs. at that point 'M-x cm'  
should start up cm using your bat file.
