Hello,

I changed the setting in options$editor to allow me to use my favorite editor.  In R 2.1.1 on Windows XP, I entered at the command line:

options(editor="c:\\program files\\winedit\\winedit.exe")

When I edited a function, say test, using fix(test), the editor opened perfectly.  But, when I saved the file and closed the editor, the R gui screen was white, blank, and completely unresponsive.  The only thing I could do was close R by clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner of the window.  How can I use my editor but be able to continue using R after I close the editor?  What extra setting am I missing?

Thanks,

Walt Paczkowski
