anybody using R with TextPad?

I was wondering whether somebody has developed a set of Textpad macro
that work with R the same way as WinEdt does. I use Textpad for almost
everything (programming, creating LaTex docs, etc.), it will be nice if
I can use it as my R program editor. Or maybe someone can tell me how
that kind of macro works so that I can develop my own macros. Thank you!

Best,

I take it you are using windows....You can change your 
editor in the Rprofile.  Go to R\etc and open the file 
Rprofile and specify your choice of editor.

In some expansible editors (most I have seen are non-commercial ones) it
is possible to define your own highlighting rules and write macros (or
plug-ins) to talk in some way to other applications (on Windows for
example via DDE or DCOM). I don't know if it is possible with textpad,
because I don't know this editor.

BTW: A *clean* way for the communication between the Editor and R is
also not yet developed for WinEdt ...

Maybe you want to try out ESS for the Emacs, if you don't already use
it.

Exactly what is ESS for the Emacs?  I'm currently using R-WinEdt and found
it to be very good.  I've also got Emacs/XEmacs under my Linux OS.  However
I can't figure out what ESS for the Emacs is.  Is it just for Windows and
how can I get/install it?

Thanks!

Kevin

Maybe this is the wrong list to ask this on, but are there robust statistics
equivalent to the coefficients of skewness and kurtosis? I have robust
measures for location and scale, but I need them for skewness and kurtosis
as well.

Thank you!
No, not only for windows. It works with the emacs (on linux, solaris,
windows, ...).

For example you'll get it at:
-  http://ess.stat.wisc.edu
-  http://CRAN.R-Project.org/src/other/ess/

The installation is decribed in the readme.
