Ok, in the above it was important that there's no *existing* object x.e
beforehand.
Note that the idea about fix() is that you only have to write
fix(x.e)
But your problem remains :

Waiting for Emacs...Done --- I have options(editor = "emacsclient")
> newerf
function ()
{
## newer
}
<environment: 0x40862004>

<environment: 0x40862004>

I.e. it got the environment of the function fix -- I think this is clearly
a bug CC'ed to R-bugs
Erin> However, if I create a function, y.e, and source it in, when

Erin> Why is this, please? (It's not a bug....I just wondered).
it *is* a bug, I think

same for Unix
Erin> Thanks!
