Dear all, I'm using R (2.10.1) under Ubuntu (9.10) and, as I don't like vi, I edit my functions with the command : edit(.,editor="gedit") which works fine, except when gedit happens to be already running. Then a new tab is created, and on exit all changes are lost, regardless if I close the tab or the editor altogether. Is there a solution to this problem? thanks in advance. Eric Elguero
