[R] using the pfe editor with R 1.1.3 under windows 2000

[Anne York]

Here's what I did-- for the momemt.


As Partha's suggested, I specifiyed PFE to run as a "single
instance". This appears to run PFE as a single instance only within R.
However, outside R, if pfe is run, it runs as a second process and all text
files edited outside R are run within that second process.

I also had trouble running both the pager and the function editor together
and for the momemnt, I set the pager as "internal" in my rprofile file.
I did use pfe for the pager and function editor under NT in Splus, but
I'm not positive that I had that working in R.
