[R] Re: RWinEdt, R.profile and version 1.9.0

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Apologises to reply to myself...

I found where the trouble came from.

The function winMenuAdd() is included in the library utils, not loaded at this stage. Now, it works with

library(MASS)
library(lattice)
cat("Load editor?(y/n default = y): ")
nf <- as.character(readLines(n = 1))
if (any(nf=="y",nf=="Y",nf=="")) {library(utils);library(RWinEdt)}
rm(nf)

This loading was not necessary in the version 1.8.1.
