I'm just beginning to explore Raqua on a new G5 machine. Generally,
it feels very natural, but I'm puzzled by the behavior of editing
windows. When you use fix() or vi() or edit() you get a new
window; this is fine, but is there a way to:
o specify what editor is operating in this window
o control the size of the window
o allow control to revert back to the R console with
the editing window open?
I guess what I'm really asking is whether there is a built in way
to spawn an xterm editing window running vi for such tasks that
would leave the console active or some equivalent functionality.
