I tried using various versions of the 'edit' command. Here is an account of
how this failed. I hope I have included all relevant information.
I haven't used R for a couple of years. Before restarting with R, I
downloaded the latest version I could find in its binary version, and
installed it without any problems.
Mac Os X Finder command "About R" responds with
R 3.0.1 GUI 1.61 Snow Leopard build (6492)

And here is my interaction with tcsh (my default shell)
H2:~% echo $VISUAL
/opt/local/bin/vim
H2:~% echo $EDITOR
/opt/local/bin/vim
H2:~% which vi
vi: aliased to /opt/local/bin/vim
H2:~/<4>Chap2% ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x 11 dbae dbae 374 8 Aug 10:54 ./
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
David
