I have problems with Rpad and R 2.10.0 (Windows XP and Windows 7, browser is Firefox) Just starting Rpad by library(Rpad) Rpad() opens the browser and displays the .html files and the .Rpad files in my home directory, but these files do not have links and are not clickable. Doing the same in R 2.9.2 gives clickable links in the browser. Furthermore, in both cases an empty graphics window

My configuration is Windows XP, R-2.5.1patched. My standard browser in Windows is Firefox 2.0.6, and I am using htmlhelp. I have problems with starting the browser for displaying help. help("lm") works as it should when Firefox is already running. When I do help("lm") and the browser is not yet started, I get Error in shell.exec(url) :

Is there code for bivariate kernel density estimation? For bivariate kernels there is kde2d in MASS kde2d.g in GRASS KernSur in GenKern (list probably incomplete) but none of them seems to accept a weight parameter (like density does since R 2.2.0) -- Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna Faculty of Computer Science Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at

I do not know if this has been reported already (I searched the headers of the recent messages to r-devel) It seems that 'example' in R 2.11.0 has a problem when the help file does not contain any example.

I just uninstalled R 2.7.2 on Windows XP after having installed R 2.8.0 The uninstaller removed the String values HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\Current Version HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\InstallPath despite the fact that they pointed to R 2.8.0 The uninstaller did not remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\2.7.2 (and all the values in that key) I think the

I am running R as an invisible subprocess in another program (RExcel). Using try I can catch errors and print the errors produced by an R statement. Is there a way to know if running a statement caused a warning message? last.warning gives me the last warning, but I do not have any indication what the statement was that caused the message. I can of course store last warning before I run a

RExcelInstaller_2.0-15 installs RExcel, an add-in for Excel, which connects R and Excel. RExcel allows to transfer data between R and Excel, writing VBA macros using R as a library for Excel, and calling R functions as worksheet function in Excel. RExcel integrates nicely with R Commander (Rcmdr), turning R Commander's menus into Excel menus. It comes with a comprehensive set of example

It would be convenient to have something like Rgui runfist="myfunction()" in Windows. The reason: AFAIK Rgui does not accept piped input (RGui < myfile.R does not seem to work). A solution could be to put a few fuctions in Rprofile and then give the name for one of these functions to be executed at startup as a command line parameter to Rgui. Can something like this be done? --

In some languages there is a function gensym() which returns a new unique name (in the current environment). This is quite helpful when one has to do temporary assignments.
