[R] R editor that will work with Rcmdr

[John Sorkin]

Peter,
I see that you do not think Rcmdr should be used to as a program editor
for R code. I understand that modifying Rmcdr to make it an editor would
be an enormous undertaking, nevertheless, having a program editor that
works with Rcmdr would be a wonderful addition to what is already an
outstanding package. It would be nice to know that my R code was
automatically formatted as I enter it into Rcmdr.

Dear Peter,

I've resisted trying to make the script window a full-fledged editor
but it's been moving in that direction (right-click context menu, line
wrapping, etc). I don't think that the Ctext widget is currently
provided via the tcltk package. I still think that people who want a
real programming editor are better off not using the Rcmdr for that
purpose.

Best,
 John
