[R] SciViews-K / Komodo as editor on the Mac [was: StatET plot problem]

[Philippe Grosjean]

Matt,

Yes, I see this problem. Thanks for report. Also ??topic is wrong. Note 
two points:

1) ?topic works with R.app/R64.app. So, just in case you would consider 
using R.app instead of R inside a terminal session,

2) I have not noticed this bug because using ?topic inside SciViews-K / 
Komodo is a little bit silly. There is a much better mechanism: place 
your cursor on a word (the 'topic' in ?topic) and hit Alt-F1, and you 
got the corresponding help page displayed. It is much more natural to 
type the name of your function, then Alt-F1 to see the man page, than to 
type ?myfun, then move back to eliminate '?', move forward and continue 
typing your code, isn't it? Also try Alt-Shift-F1 for a better 
alternative to ??topic from within SciViews-K / Komodo.

Best,

Philippe
