R help - Jan 2004 - programming cycle: file managment

Hi,

the programming cycle in R is
(1) create somefile.R in some ascii editor
(2) use "source(somefile.R)" to read it.
(3) change the file and repeat step (2).

Or there's a better way ?

Which section of which manual explains that ?

Try using emacs and ess.  It will do what you ask and much, much more.  For
most systems, emacs is available as a binary or debian package; installing
ess can usually be done painlessly from within emacs.
