[R] How do I change the editor in R command window?

[detlef.steuer@unibw-hamburg.de]

Hello!

The most convenient way to edit in/for R is using ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics).
It can be found here: http://ess.stat.wisc.edu/pub/ESS/  .
(Also mentioned in the FAQ under "6. R and Emacs".)

As you obviously do not fear emacs this is your choice and worth reading its
documentation.
