R help - Oct 2005 - R version 2.01.1, Crimson Editor and the "one" from nowhere

Dear List....
sorry to bother you R-gurus with such an "unstatistical" question...
but
I face a problem using Crimson Editor with R 2.01.1 that I never had 
using R 2.00.1.
I already posted on the Crimson Editor forum but it seems to be VERY few 
R-users there....

I successfully used R v2.00.1until now (under Windows XP professionnal, 
version 2002, Service Pack 2, P4 processor CPU 1.8 GHz), together with 
Crimson Editor.
This editor is "linked" to R using three files (TpR.exe, R.SPC and
R.KEYS).
I recently upgraded to R 2.01.1.
I kept using my old TpR.exe, R.SPC and R.KEYS, because I did not find 
any new files on the Crimson Editor "Release" web page.
When I now launch a script, instead of getting my old, well known prompt :
 > source("C:/Program Files/R/fooscript.txt")
I get :
 > 1source("C:/Program Files/R/fooscript.txt")
with a "1" in front of the line.... and of course R  greets me with a 
"syntax error" message.
Then I have to remove the "1" by hand (pretty prehistoric, ...and does
not work if  my script is meant to launch other scripts during the 
night....)
I cannot figure where this "1" comes from !!
Did some of you already encountered this problem, and how did you get 
rid of it ?
Thanks a lot, have a nice week-end. Olivier

Hello Olivier,

The problem prob ably comes from TpR.exe. It first sends Alt-w 1 before 
the command, to make sure the console is the active window. You should 
try to switch R in SDI mode, which is definitely the best mode for 
running R side-by-side with a text editor. Tell me if it solves the problem.
Best,

Philippe Grosjean

... OK, I have spot the problem: TpR.exe expects RGui running in 
English. Shortcut for the Windows menu is Alt-w, which is what it sends 
to R. Then, it sends "1", meaning, activate first window (the
console).
You have probably RGui running in French, or in another language. In 
French the menu is called "Fen??tres", with the corresponding shortcut
being Alt-n. Consequently, the menu is not triggered and the "1" is
send
to the command line.

Two solutions to continue using TpR.exe with R 2.1.1 or more:
1) Switch R in SDI mode,
2) Use RGui in MDI mode, but in English.

The third solution is to patch TpR.exe, which I will not do, because I 
need to program a separate command for each different language of R!
Best,

Philippe Grosjean
