[R] bug Rcmdr

[Richard M. Heiberger]

John,

It's worse than a semi-colon problem.  It is an error in a self-referential
statement 'a <- a+5'.  Type those lines as three separate lines in the Rcmdr
Script Window
and you still get the wrong answer.  This is from 1.3-9.

> a<-2

> a<-a+5

> a
[1] 12

Dear Jeremy,

As it says in ?Commander, the script window in the R Commander doesn't
provide a true console to R. One of the things it doesn't do is handle lines
with multiple commands separated by semicolons. In fact, I wonder what
version of the Rcmdr package you're using, since (for me) in the latest
version on CRAN (1.3-10), lines with semi-colons produce an error.

I'll take a look at this problem when I have a chance, and accommodate
semi-colons if I can do so reasonably. I don't think that it should be too
hard.

Regards,
 John
