I teach a class in R and have instructed my students to change their GUI preferences to match mine by going to the Rgui Configuration Editor under the Edit menu. This works fine for those who have a Windows-based PC. What do I tell my students who have a MAC? How and where can they go to accomplish this same task? ---------------------------------------------- Steven A.

If you could list the configurations that you use we could be more specific. There may be other options that are set from other menu (or .Rprofile) settings. -- David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT
