[R] editor: not possible to change the variable name

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Matthias,

What do you mean by "that doesn't work"?  What platform are you using?  Using:

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

fix(mydataframe)

brings up the data editor, then if I click a variable name, and change
it and shut down the data editor, it works just fine for me.  You
could also use the menu to bring up the editor.  More information
about the steps you are trying, the version of R, and exactly what is
going wrong will help us help you.

Best regards,

Josh
