R help - Feb 2008 - Problems with Rcmdr unter JGR (Windows XP)

I try  to start Rmcdr from JGR. The Rmcdr-Windows comes up correctly; but
the
 Menu-Bar in the Rcmdr-Window goes away, if I try to go into the
Rmcdr-Window.

 I hope, someone has a solution.

Regards, willi

why not start Rcmdr from the Rgui? I mean what is the point - when you use 
Rcmdr you don't need JGR...

My experience is that, under Windows,  you cannot run Rcmdr with either JGR or
(X)Emacs/ESS.  From John Fox's own 'An Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for
Windows
Users of R': "The Rcmdr package does not run reliably under XEmacs/ESS
for
Windows."  I get the same instability (Rcmdr not responding and then R
crashing)
with Rcmdr and JGR.

Under Linux, I have had Emacs/ESS and Rcmdr running together.  I don't know
about JGR, as I don't presently have it installed on a Linux box.

If you want to use Rcmdr under Windows, the combination of R-Gui, Tinn-R and
Rcmdr works well.
