lines don't wrap. must scroll horizontally to see/edit a long line in R GUI
H Viju, Automatically breaking _input_ lines is dangerous, because line breaks have meaning in R. It sounds to me like you need to use the Return key to insert line breaks at the appropriate places. -Ista

Dear Jorge, Thanks. But. (My R console width is set by default at 91, which is fine. Output for ?R>1:120 ?wraps correctly already. ) The problem is that when I am typing a command, it does not wrap like it does in this email while typing. As I am reach the right border, a horizontal scroll bar appears, and as I keep typing further, the initial part of the line starts disappearing below the left border of the console. So, I am unable to see a long line completely without moving the scroll bar right and left.

I have not changed Windows settings or R GUI settings much except to change from MDI to SDI. Someone else reported this problem a few months ago: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-April/195714.html but it wasn't followed up. I'd change the settings on Preferences, but there's no help explaining the various options. (That's another problem, by the way... Is there a link you know?) I guess fixing this would be straightforward. Hope someone who did will reply. Thanks.
