Subject: [R] edit.data() read-only?

Greetings All.

The function edit.data() allows a convenient spreadsheet-like view of a dataframe with too many rows/columns to fit on the screen (especially when there are many columns). Very useful when scanning through a dataset (row & column are conveniently identified by the labels at the side and above).

However, there seens to be no option to set it "read-only" on start-up, with the consequence that a clumsy key-press or mouse-click could cause a change in the data which would then be stored after quitting edit.data().

Is there a possibility of a read-only option? Or some other function which could offer similar viewing capability without the risk of data change?

With thanks,
Ted.
