I installed the newest version of R and once again ran into problem
with Tinn-R failing when trying to use the R explorer. I had this
problem once before and solved it when I added the following
.trPaths = c(
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application
Data/Tinn-R/tmp/search.txt',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application
Data/Tinn-R/tmp/objects.txt',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/file.r',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application
Data/Tinn-R/tmp/selection.r',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application
Data/Tinn-R/tmp/block.r',
'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application
Data/Tinn-R/tmp/lines.r')
The posted configuration file tries to accomplish this situation with
.trPaths <- paste(paste(Sys.getenv('APPDATA'),
'\\Tinn-R\\tmp\\',
sep=''), c('', 'search.txt', 'objects.txt',
'file.r', 'selection.r',
'block.r', 'lines.r'), sep='')
BUT IT FAILS.

The only apparent reason for the failure is that the elegant line using Sys.getenv denerates filenames with double backslashes instead of forward slashes. I am working in Windows XP and I thought that R could use double backslashes or a single forward slash. So what am I not understanding about the whole slash thing?

Reporting it on R-help may be useful for someone else hit with the same problem who looks it up here, but it won't be likely to get it fixed. Duncan Murdoch
