Yes, I found that out as well. Rebuilding the File menu is probably too much of a hassle and will introduce dependencies that would be difficult to maintain. I hope that the core team would consider this request. Thanks. -Christos > -Original Message- > From: Gabor Grothendieck [mail

[Rd] citation question

I want to put the correct information into the "author" field of the DESCRIPTION file for my bbmle package, which is a modified and extended version of the mle code in the stats4 package. If I put only myself as author I feel like I'm ignoring the contribution of R-Core (and I think Peter Dal

Re: [Rd] 'attach workspace' on R console File menu

I think it would be possible but its a bit of work. Note that this deletes the original File menu and adds a new File menu at the end. winMenuAdd("File") winMenuDel("File") By deleting all the original menus and replacing them in this way and then tediously replacing the items on each menu

[Rd] attach/detach asymmetry

Is there a good reason why arguments to 'attach' and 'detach' differ so much? Yes, I know this is the documented behaviour, it just seems to violate the principle of least surprise. Examples: file = "foo.RData" df = data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) attach(file) # attaches the RData file 'foo.RD

Re: [Rd] 'attach workspace' on R console File menu

Thanks, Gabor. This does not add a new item to the existing File menu, instead it creates a new user menu where the new item can be added. Although not ideal, it is an acceptable workaround. Thanks. -Christos > -Original Message- > From: Gabor Grothendieck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > S

[Rd] 'attach workspace' on R console File menu

Quite often I save misc functions and data objects as .RData files that I can use in other sessions. Although I could 'Load Workspace" these files, most of the times I prefer attaching them. It would be really convenient to have a menu item under the File menu on the Windows R Console to allow at

Seth, we already *have* vignette registration in place [vignette()] and we already *have* support in the GUIs (I'm talking e.g. about the Mac GUI here which uses vignette() to build a vignettes browser). What you propose circumvents all the mechanisms already in place and adds replicates th
