[R] R editor that will work with Rcmdr

[John Fox]

Dear Michael,

For what it's worth, I develop the Rcmdr under Eclipse, and it works fine
with Eclipse -- both under Windows and under Mac OS X. Of the IDEs that I've
used with R, I'm most impressed with Eclipse/StatET, but configuration is
non-trivial and documentation is sparse.

I have a little experience with the Rcmdr under Emacs (as opposed to XEmacs)
on Windows, and that too seems to work.

Regards,
 John
