Cocoa GUI 1.12 appears to have a problem opening an external editor  
when the application name contains a space.  I use Aquamacs Emacs,  
which upon installation names itself "Aquamacs Emacs.app"

Choosing that app as an external editor on the Preference Pane causes  
the following error when I try to open a file from the Toolbar in the  
R Console:

     2005-10-18 00:59:49.985 open[9985] No such file: /Users/Franklin/ 
R/Working Directory/Emacs.app

However, if I rename the application "Aquamacs_Emacs.app" no error is  
returned and the file opens.

Looking forward to the new version.  Thanks for all your efforts.
