similar to: using tcltk in R under ESS/XEmacs on Windows

Dear R-help, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to call up the "directory chooser" (the one you get when you click on "File" -> "Change Dir...") in Rgui from the R command line? Seems like file.choose() can't be used to choose a directory. This is in R-1.8.1 on WinXPPro. Any help much appreciated! Andy

To follow up on my previous question, suppose a user R session wants to unload one workspace and load another within an R session. Is the following the correct sequence? 1. save.image() to save the current workspace as .Rdata in the current working directory. 2. rm(list=ls()) to remove everything from the workspace. 3. setcwd("xxx") to set the new working directory. 4.

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

Hallo! Trying to configure Xemacs to work with .snw files on windows 2000. Tried to do it how it is described in the FAQ for Sweaves. When starting xemacs with and Snw file *ESS* buffer contains hundrets of lines and the few last ones.

Hello, I am trying to setup a menu to open files and directories. I have the following code: opendir<-function() { dirname<<-tclvalue(tkchooseDirectory()) } openfile<-function() { filename<<-tclvalue(tkgetOpenFile()) } require(tcltk) t1<-tktoplevel() topMenu<-tkmenu(t1) tkconfigure(t1,menu=topMenu) plotMenu<-tkmenu(topMenu, tearoff=FALSE)

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

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

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 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

Hi, I use R with XEmacs and ESS, when I'm editing a R file in XEmacs, the delete key work like the Backspace key. This behaviour is only in XEmacs + ESS + R file, it dont have this behaviour on a R section (M+R). Anybody know how to make a delete key to work like the delete key?? ESS 5.1.20-2 XEmacs 21.4.6-8 Thanks for all -- You will always have good luck in your personal affairs. --

Hi, When I start Xemacs version 21.5.28 (in Unix), using the init.el: (setq bell-volume 0) (setq sound-alist nil) (setq grep-find-use-xargs nil) (require 'ess-site) I get the following error: (1) (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading $home/.xemacs/init.el: Cannot open load file: "ess-site" Backtrace follows: signal(file-error ("Cannot open

Hi there; I have the following problem --- Xemacs cannot correctly parse a path to file when I load it. I have the following error, reported by Xemacs: from ess-parse-errors: Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open file `u:US-mortalityjuttalexible.r While the correct file path should be: u:\US-mortality\jutta\flexible.r Any ideas? Many thanks for your help. -Serge

I've searched for 45 minutes, apparently in all the wrong places for a solution to a configuration issue I'm having. When I use Xemacs with ESS running in R-mode, and I type a "-" character, it autocompletes it to "<- ". How do I disable this annoying "feature"? Thanks much. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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.

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

Hello, please excuse me if this is not the appropriate mailing list, but I'll give it a try! I recently switched from using Emacs 20.7.1 to XEmacs 21.4, both on cygwin / MS W2K. On Emacs the ESS 5.1.17 was working well, but now, when calling R from within XEmacs, it first asks for the working directory, then says "R process is not running". The ESS buffer holds the

Hello, I'm very new in working with tcl/tk in R and have a problem which will probably sound silly to most of you. Here is the code I have problems with: readcelfiles <- function() { require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Choose a directory!")) OnOK <- function() { fileDir<-tclvalue(tkchooseDirectory()) data.raw <-

I am having some trouble getting reftex, in particular the bibtex related features, to work properly in xemacs when editing text in Sweave files. I have added (defun Rnw-mode () (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
