Hi Folks, On Windows XP, R 2.5.0. After reading the Installation for Windows and Windows FAQs, I cannot resolve this. I set file types so that Rgui.exe will open .r files. When I try to open a .r file by double-clicking, R begins to launch, but I get an error message saying "Argument 'C:\Documents and Settings\Zoology\My Documents\trial.r' _ignored_" I click OK, and then R GUI opens, but not the script file. Is there a way to change this? thanks, Hank
Hmmm. Possibly your best bet is to create a batch file, runr.bat or something, and associate .r files with that. The batch file would be something like: "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.5.0/bin/Rgui.exe" --no-save < %1 (I think thats how you reference arguments in dos...) -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch on behalf of stevenmh at muohio.edu Sent: Fri 08/06/2007 7:52 PM To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] open .r files with double-click Hi Folks, On Windows XP, R 2.5.0.

See the appendix "Invoking R" of the Introduction manual for the current command line parameters, which don't include "open a script". This would be a reasonable addition, and I'll add it at some point, sooner if someone else comes up with a convincing argument for the "right" command line parameter to do this. It would be better if clicking on a second script opened a new window in the same session, but that takes more work; not sure I'll get to this. Duncan Murdoch
