R devel - Jan 2009 - Possible Bug in file.show (PR#13469)

Dear R-developers,

Bug Report:

R 2.8.1, i386-pc-mingw32

When I want to display two existing files using the command

file.show(c("A.txt", "B.txt"))

or

file.show("A.txt", "B.txt")

the same file ('A.txt') is displayed twice, instead of displaying two 
different files.

With R 2.6.1 the same code works perfectly.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Koller

I see the same in R-devel; I'll fix it.

Now fixed in R-devel and R-patched.  Thanks for the report!
