If you don't have write access to the WinEdt directory, you have to copy
the R.ini file to, e.g., your local directory (%b), use the *manual*
installation procedure as described in the ReadMe, but replace the
command line args "-e=R.ini" by the full path specification, e.g.:
"-E=/path/to/%b/R.ini"
In a second (apparently private mail), you told that WinEdt "... 5.4
builds ... including the most recent one of 14 January 2005..." do not
work with the recent version of R-WinEdt, because "1. The first time,
immediately I get a message that WinEdt.ini is corrupted and that a
default copy (from the RWinEdt distribution I presume) is being used."
Is this version also configured to use a User configuration?
I don't have a WinEdt 5.4 version installed (still working with 5.2),
but I will certainly take a look during the next one or two weeks.
