Thanks very much Michael,

I have posted  on RStudio a note and hopefully will hear from them  
soon. I am afraid too to reinstall and will wait for a reply first. On  
their site it says to delete files such as Rprofile, .Renviron,  
and .RData but this all sounds way too scary to even try at this  
point. I will wait for a reply.

I have been backing up and I could system restore to yesterday but  
then I am stuck without an update and the lost of the work I did  
yesterday.

I'm leaving that backup attached to my computer (hourly) until this  
project is finished!

Where do I search for my saved scripts? (~/.rstudio-desktop), it did  
not work in Finder.

Thank you,
Jean
