R help - Oct 2009 - editors for R

Hello all,

After reviewing the IDE/Script Editors article at sciviews.org, I
wanted to pose a quick question here to see if anyone can offer an
opinion or commentary about GUI editors that can be installed in a
Windoze environment that allow editing/saving of remote .R files and
running R programs from within a shell that is "housed" in the editor
(although R itself is installed in a Linux environment).  Windoze
would essentially be providing a GUI-based tool to edit, save, and
execute without making the user copy files back and forth and switch
between various programs to execute their routines.

Thus far, BlueFish seems to come closest to this; but other
recommendations will be most appreciated.

Best,
Mark

ESS does everything you requested.

ess.r-project.org

ess-remote is the specific feature that allows you to run a program
on another computer from within a buffer on the local computer.

Eclipse + StatET; see

http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/statet-user/2009-September/000208.html

for information on the latest release. For remote connections, you need
to install RJ-Server (on the Linux machine) and configure a Remote R
Console (on the client).

There is a dedicated mailing list at
