R-help Digest, Vol 2, Issue 26

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr 
Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File 
menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after 
starting R but well if I already did some computation.

I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().

Dear R-help,

Has anyone experienced similar problem?  On WinNT4(sp6), running Rgui from
1.7.0, when try to change directory to some network drive using the "File /
Change dir..." menu, Rgui gets a visit by Dr. Watson.  If I first change dir
to a local drive, then again to a network drive, it works fine.  It also
works fine with setwd() from the command prompt.

Best,
Andy
