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?
See the ?Rconsole man page. The search is somewhat complicated; it's up to you to decide whether you want the setting to apply just to your user (it should be in the R_USER directory), or be the default for all users (it should be in the R_HOME/etc directory). For me, the default location for saving is the R_USER directory; I suspect it's the same default for you, but I haven't actually checked the code. Duncan Murdoch
