R help - Dec 2002 - crimson editor

Hello,

Sorry about the last email, I just found the shortcutkey for sending, by
mistake :-(
OK. I am a windows user and I wanted to instal emacs. However, went to
speak with the information staf on the institut and they told me that that
is a bit problematic sometimes, and that there is a free soft that could do
a very similar job which is crimson...
This is like a note pad, but highlights the syntax and can open R and tell
it to execute stuff... I am really happy with it, and I wanted to share it
with you.
(some day I will still try emacs)
OK, Crimson can be downloaded free in 
www.crimsoneditor.com
 
It is really small (fits a flopy disk). After install you just fill in the
menu 
tools < configure usertools :
menu text: R-batch
# this is just the directory where you have your R in batch
Command: C:\Archivos de programa\R\rw1060\bin\Rterm.exe
Argument: --vanilla < $(FileName) 
Initial dir: $(FileDir)

And that is it... really simple. To do this you have to be able to use your
R in batch mode. I have started creating a syntax colour code for this
program (it is realy simple to do it...just asci file)... 
and I was wondering, does anyone know where can I get a complete list of
the R functions? What about separated by packages?
Is there a similar file (of syntax highlighting) from emacs that I can
copy/see? BEcause I think it would be nice to have the same colour scheme...
If anyone wants my syntax highlight send me an email.
If we manage to put this working propertly, I will try to do a proper
manual...

Thank you for your attention and your help in advance,

Marta

Crimson editor is great but it is not as dynamic as emacs is.

No (since it depends on what packages you have).  However,
  allnames<-lapply(grep("package:",search()),function(i) ls(pos=i))
will return the names of all the base functions and functions in loaded
packages, sorted by package.

There is also a file indexing the installed help pages in
doc/html/search/index.txt
All functions should appear somewhere in an "Aliases" line in this
file,
but some non-functions will also appear.

Emacs doesn't do it by knowing all the functions but rather by knowing
what functions look like.
