The discussion on editors prompts the following comments. 1) One reason I put "Kickstarting R" together is that most people come to R as migrants; they already have an editor, a browser, etc. that they know how to use. Learning one thing is easier than learning many (Jon Baron's comment on interference is most relevant). 2) NotePad isn't a great editor, but it will serve for

Hi , I am programming on a windows system and have problems using notepad which is my main editor.Each time I try to open the editor from the R IDE, R crashes. So I always have to copy my codes from notepad and paste in R to run them. CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. thanks cilver ===== ===================== Sylvie B.

I decided to try out Xemacs instead of Emacs in Linux (RH 7.2). After doing lots of configuration of Xemacs, I finally discovered a major problem. With Emacs, when I use R, I start Emacs twice (at least), in different viewports, once as emacs -f R and once as emacs myfile.R Then I try commands in the first one, and, when they work (which isn't very often), I cut the command with C-w,

Hello all, I noticed that both Windows and OS X version of R have a GUI (Rconsole). Is there a GUI for Linux? I'm running Debian on which the CLI for R works just fine. Regards, - Robert

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Hi all, I am running R 2.0.1 under Windows XP in German. I configured my path as follows: C:\Programme\R\rw2001\bin;C:\Programme\xemacs-packages\lib-src\;C:\Programme\XEmacs-21.4.13\i586-pc-win32 I can not start R proccess or ESS from within XEmacs. What is going wrong? I can not start S. M-x S gives "no matching" How can I configure XEmacs for STATA 8? Thanks for your help. M

I'm a rank beginner with R, and I'm stumped at how to get it to work with Xemacs under Windows XP. I'm afraid there are some VERY basic questions I have here. Yes, I did read http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html. Both R and Xemacs are installed and working. The current ess files are installed in a subdirectory of my Xemacs directory. I added the R bin directory to my

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

Sorry for the cross-post. Not sure where the problem is... A while back I posted an R function to R-help: cd <- function (dir = tclvalue(tkchooseDirectory()), saveOld = FALSE, loadNew = TRUE) { stopifnot(require(tcltk)) if (saveOld) save.image(compress = TRUE) setwd(dir) rm(list = ls(all = TRUE, envir = .GlobalEnv), envir = .GlobalEnv) if (loadNew &&

I've been working on a document describing the use of XEmacs and ESS with R for Windows users, along with configuration files that are meant to make things simple for Windows users. This was initially intended for my students, but with recent discussions of Windows (and other) editors on the the R-help list, I thought that I'd make the material more widely available. The document

Please ignore (and excuse) my previous message - it is incomplete. I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms? I've installed the Xemacs packages from SuSE xemacs-info-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-el-20030629-37 xemacs-21.4.13-35 xemacs-el-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-info-20030629-37

I am having trouble saving graphs. Using the Aqua interface (which is not my preferred interface), I have no problems plotting a graph, adding additional lines, points, references, etc., and then saving it to a file using, for example, the dev2bitmap command. I have found that, running R with Xemacs+ESS under X11 (which I prefer over Aqua), this is not possible. I can either send the graph to a

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

I have been using the document written by John Fox titled Sn Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for Windows Users of R. It's a very nice document and I went through it carefully but I got an error when I finished it and launched XEmacs. The error is "cannot open load file : ess-site". So, I did more investigation and it seems like there is a folder Program

Hi everyone, I've recently moved from using a windows machine to a Mac (some might call it an upgrade, others not?I'll let you be the judge). Once I started using Notepad ++ on my windows machine, I really began to like it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the free text editor options are for the Mac (Notepad ++ is windows only). I've dabbled with Linux before and used

Dear list, Not strictly R ... In R on Xemacs with ESS (R-2.0.1, Xemacs-21.4.15-r3, ESS-5.2.6) on gentoo-linux when I use k<-edit(k) or fix(k) to change a small vector k <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6) the opened window (called '6b8b4567') appears not to be connected to the gnuclient and I'm able to edit the file but has no instructions in the minibuffer and C-x # gives '6b8b4567 does
