Dear John,
Perhaps start Notepad in the background is
what you mean? Something like
system2("START /B Notepad", invisible=FALSE)
Found it at [1]. I'm not on Windows ever, so
I can not test it.
What are you trying to achieve here?
Where would the things you type into Notepad
end up? Will R read it. It might be more
useful to take user input by calling
readline(prompt="Enter something here at least: ")
Best,
Rasmus
