R help - Jan 2008 - changing color scheme in R in UNIX

Hi, I've been using R in Windows but am now starting to use it more often in
the UNIX environment.  In Windows, I'm used to the text provided by the user
appearing in red, and the output from R appearing in blue.  Is there a way
to achieve this in UNIX?

Thanks,
Andrew

What you describe is called 'syntax highlighting'.

There are some editors that let you run R and provide syntax highlighting 
and other nifty features.

My first choice is emacs which has a package (aka mode) called ESS. There 
are links on the r-project home page (which for sime reason is timing out 
for me right now) to editors including emacs-ESS. Or go to the emacs-ESS 
home page

 	http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/

or try

 	RSiteSearch("editor")

where you will find links to 'what is the best editor' discussions.

HTH,

Chuck
