[R] Trouble with word-wrapping and other Tinn-R options
I'm running R 2.7.1 with Tinn-R 2.0.0.7 and Windows XP Professional. I have write privileges to the folders containing my R installation, my Tinn-R installation, and my Tinn-R initialization settings. I installed R first, followed by Tinn-R. I have modified my RProfile.site file (in Tinn-R, R>Configure>Permanent). My previous installations of Tinn-R and R worked fine, but on a different computer (also Windows XP; probably R 2.7.1 and Tinn-R 2.0.0.5). I am now having trouble controlling Tinn-R options. I will be most grateful if someone can set me straight, especially with respect to item 1. 1) Turning on word-wrapping seems to have the desired effect when I use Tinn-R only for editing. Options>Application>Word wrap toggles on wrapping as it should. If I shut down Tinn-R, I find that the change is preserved in my Tinn.ini file (bwordwrap=1). If I restart Tinn-R, words wrap properly when I open an existing file or create a new one. To my great frustration, submitting a line of R code has the undesirable side-effect of immediately and permanently turning off word-wrapping. Neither I nor our computer support staff have a clue why. 2) I can make durable changes to some aspects of the color scheme, but not others. For example, I can change highlighting of the current line from the default yellow to green and the changes are preserved when I restart. In contrast, changes to the foreground or background color for TeX commands are lost. A subscriber previously asked about item 2, but decided the problem was a "bug" in Tinn-R 1.19.2.3: that explanation seems doubtful given subsequent development that has occurred. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Glen ************************************************* Glen A.
