thank you for the clarification, so to edit a vector I guess one might do
this:

x = c(1,2,3)

x = as.vector(edit(as.matrix(x)))

Did you try that? It didn't work for me, but this did:

Generally one needs to assign the result of edit() to <something>.

Hello,

I am confused, is there a GUI data editor that can be invoked by edit()?


Yes.

For example
m=edit(matrix(0,4,4))
or
d=edit(iris)


I am looking at the book R in a Nutshell, and there is a picture of a
nice
spreadsheet that should come up. When I use edit() all I get is a text
editor?


It means that you're trying to edit something that doesn't fit a
spreadsheet.

Cheers,
Simon
