1. First of all, I'd suggest to start the Editor not from R, but from a
shortcut (e.g. in your startmenu or on the desktop) to edit files.
2. edit("Multi1.R") won't work, see ?edit for details.
3. It seems to be required to specify the extension in some windows
versions, e.g.:
"\"c:/program files/winedt/winedt.exe\" -c=\"R-WinEdt-edit\" -e=r.ini
-V"
4. Are you sure WinEdt is installed in the specified directory?
5. In case of any further questions, please
a) post a private message - I don't think R-WinEdt is of interest for
the majority on this list.
b) Tell us (me) some details
(i) Version numbers of: R, Windows, WinEdt, R-WinEdt
(ii) Where does WinEdt live?
