Hi, sorry for bothering, but I suspect the start of M-x R within Aquamacs is causing my problems: *Scrolling* is *not possible*, neither by key stroke nor by mouse. Aquamacs does not show all windows. 'Prefences', 'About A.', 'Check fo updates' will not open. Menu 'windows' shows several windows, but clicking on them will not open their buffers. Also,

Hi, I have searched the documentations of eval, substitute, expression, and I cannot make work something like the values of a list of variable names: lis <- ls(pattern="pr") # all variables with names containing 'pr' What is the mantra giving me the _values_ of the variables whose names are contained in 'lis'. eval(parse(ls(pattern="pr"))) will not do

Dear All Working along in R (Emacs {Aquamacs}, ESS ) usually I am getting a long R buffer with many rows. To reduce its length, I used to select backwards and delete those unnecessary rows. Now I cannot do that, only C-k allows single lines to be deleted. the mode line says 'Text is read-only *R*>'. Both R and ESS are up to date. Aquamacs 3.3 GNU Emacs 25.1.1

Hi, Each > help.start() generates a new tree of the R help system, somewhere in 127.0.0.1:xxx, each xxx being difeerent. This tree disappears when exiting R. How can the current help tree copied to a permanent place for reference outside a running R? This would be practical for not having to enter M-x R . TIA --Christian -- Christian W.

Dear Deepayan Sarkar, I have (again) a question concerning "panel" and my function "SplomT", see attachments. Some time ago you helped me to write this function, thanks again. I have used it to great advantage in my statistics instructions. Now the problem I encounter is that the .pdf figure generated in Sweave consists of one extra empty page at the start. This prevents

I consider it quite worth while to introduce into R syntax a nestable block comment like #{ <block of code> }# It would make documentation more easily manageable and lucid. Is there considerable need for this. Please, comment on this. How about R core? Christian -- Christian Hoffmann Rigiblickstrasse 15b CH-8915 Hausen am Albis Switzerland Telefon +41-(0)44-7640853

All, Apologies if this was already answered... I couldn't find an answer that specifically addressed Mac OS instead of either windows or linux. I use "aquamacs emacs" as my text editor. It is essentially Xemacs with a GUI that looks closer to standard Mac GUIs, as far as I can tell. I installed the GUI-friendly Mac version of R. I can have R choose the aquamacs as the editor
