For teaching purposes (Windows computers) I do not even introduce the R GUI, I only use R Studio. I like the compact the view of the editor, command line window, variables and graphics. Additionally it is available for all OS's (Mac, Linux, Windows). But a real pain in the editor is its cleverness about opening and closing brackets, apostrophs and double apostrophs. Very often I when run the program block/line there are too much or too few brackets, apostrophs or double apostrophs :( Best Sigbert ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
