R help - Sep 1998 - R-beta: more R for Windows (rjune)

I've just put up (12:00 noon NZ) yet another tmp.zip with the fixes
for Peter Dalgaards two bugs. Niels reports that the 3.51 problems
are now different but not solved. I'm trying to locate a 3.51 machine
and will post another fix. 

Can I get some feedback on how people want these "patches" delivered?
Should I be numbering them and keeping the old patches? I don't
want to put them in rjune.zip until I'm confident that they work
and I have most of the current problems fixed.

If people have other bugs that I have missed, please let me know
and I will try to get a major revamp done.

They seem to be fixed, at least on my W95 system. Here are some new ones:

1) Half of Rjune unpacks to RNew, the other half to Rnew. This creates
some "fun" when unpacked on a Unix server. In particular, it makes it
seem like the "System Data" menu still doesn't work and help
won't
start.

2) Reading the airquality data can cause trouble: If you do not change
the options on read.table, you're in for an imminent GPF.

3) Quibble I: Still no contributors()

4) Quibble II: Missing index files on packages mva,eda,stepfun

5) Quibble III: The Console glitch seems worse than ever. I couldn't
even get a clean printout of the airquality data frame. This is likely
to be both machine and OS dependent, but still... Isn't there a buffer
size that can be increased somewhere?

6) Quibble IV: The closing form still talks about saving the "image"
(which many interpret as "the plot window"), even though
"workspace"
is being used everywhere else.

7) Quibble V: This has been with us always: The plot window is
generally obscured by the console window, which kind of spoils the fun
of the graphics demo.
