[R] using the pfe editor with R 1.1.3 under windows 2000
In the PFE editor menu, go to preference -> Startup and uncheck "Only
run
one instance at a time"
This works for me under Win2000 and R 1.3.0

I am in the process of setting up R1.3.1 on a new computer running windows
2000. I am having problems running the PFE text editor simultaneously
within R for editing functions and outside R for editing
ordinary text files. The PFE editor behaves as I expected, if it is opened
in R AND but no other PFE window is open outside R. Similarly, it also
works fine if I am editing a text file outside R and no edit window is
open within R. If I try to edit an R function when a PFE window is open
outside R, R hangs and I have to kill it.
On my previous computer, I used R 1.3.0 under windows NT4 and I was able
use PFE inside and outside R at the same time. I have checked that all the
settings are the same. I don't know if this problem occurs because of
changes in R, changes between NT and 2000, or both.
Do any of you have a solution to this problem? IS PFE is "too old" and
not
worth keeping? It does have a lot of nice features and I would like to keep
using it-- at least for a while.

Here's what I did-- for the momemt. As Partha's suggested, I specifiyed PFE to run as a "single instance". This appears to run PFE as a single instance only within R. However, outside R, if pfe is run, it runs as a second process and all text files edited outside R are run within that second process. I also had trouble running both the pager and the function editor together and for the momemnt, I set the pager as "internal" in my rprofile file. I did use pfe for the pager and function editor under NT in Splus, but I'm not positive that I had that working in R. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anne E.

This works for me to (windows 98), with one exception. I have set PFE as
the default pager, and that works if PFE is already running. But PFE as
default editor
have problems. If I use fix() when PFE is already running, I have to
kill
the R process.
Why the difference?

[R] using the pfe editor with R 1.1.3 under windows 2000
I agree with your last sentiment. In almost all cases, I prefer to write my
function with a text editor (PFE in my case) and source it in R.

If running as 'pager', only a file is shown in the editor.
If running as 'editor', R waits until the editor has finished, because R
cannot know, when you have finished the 'fix'ing of an object.
I don't know PFE, but with e.g. WinEdt it is possible to start a new
instance of the editor with another caption-name using some command line
arguments, so the instances of the editor can be distinguished by
Windows (and R).
Maybe this is also possible for PFE (?).
BTW: Often it is nice to edit an ASCII file, say foo.R, and source() it
into R instead of using fix(), since the R process is not
"interrupted"
and you have saved the function in a file you can make use of much
easier.
