Hi I did a google search on this and came up with nothing. OK, in the latest release of R for windows, I want to change the gui to SDI mode. Edit -> GUI preferences Choose SDI Apply I get the message about properties not being able to be changed on a running console, and that I need to save. So I click Save, and am met with a "Save As" dialogue box with the default file called Rconsole, the file type as "All files". I have no idea where I actually have to save this. I saved it in C:\Program File\R\2.2.1 anyway, restarted the console, and SDI mode was not set. I realiuse I can use the --sdi option on the command line, but I want to know how to make this work through the GUI Any help? Thanks Mick
So, what's the "bug"? You need to save in $R_HOME\etc where $R_HOME is the directory where you have R installed. (Your example directory above seems odd - is it a typo?). BTW, this is in the rw-FAQ 5.2. Or you can read ?Rconsole. HTH, --sundar
