[R] RGui innards questions

[Prof Brian D Ripley]

R is Open Source, so just download the source from where you got the
binaries (and where you got the binaries is required to have it).
You want the file R-1.3.1.tgz.

The source code is the documentation.

That will save you guessing (and most of your guesses are wrong: Rgui and
Rterm are different C front-ends to R.dll which contains almost all the
code).
