Dear r-devel list members,

I find that adding --sdi to the Target field in the 

short-cut for R is 

ineffective in R 2.3.0 beta for Windows (version/platform 

details below).

Setting MDI = no in the Rconsole file works, however. 

Thanks, I'll fix that.

It's probably a bit late to request this for version 2.3.0, but it 
would be nice to be able to select either the SDI or MDI in 

the R Windows installer.

It's hard to make changes to the installer because of the 
many translations of installer messages that are required.  
I'd say it's now too late to ask the translators for a new 
translation for 2.3.0.

Regards,
 John
