My earlier message was not as clear as it could have been. I already have
Emacs for my NT system, but prefer not to use it or vi. It is really a
case of not needing a sledgehammer to swat a gnat. The advantage of
EditPadPro (for me anyway) is that it has a footprint of 1MB including
helpfiles, whereas the versions of Emacs I've seen for NT require about
30MB of disk space to store. Since I'm not going to use Emacs for anything
else (other than R), and since I use about 30 other applications daily, I
can't the real advantage for me. I merely *hate* Notepad and use
Editpadpro for all other ascii text file editing. I know it well (as
others know Emacs).
Thankfully Uwe Ligges sent me a reply that contained the information I
needed to resolve the problem. I was leaving out the escape "\"
character
prior to giving R the full path (using "/" as a directory delimiter).
Once
I got all the escape characters in, things seem to be working correctly.
