Dear R-help, I have started using R on my Linux box (Debian), and I have some problems with setting the editor/keyboard for R. The For instance, arrow-up gives "^[[A", and delete gives "^H". I have a Norwegian keyboard, but that doesn't cause any problems for editors like emacs. Could you advice me on how I can set the editor for R right? I have tried option(editor="emacs") and setenv R_EDITOR=emacs, but without any effect.

Hello! The most convenient way to edit in/for R is using ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics). It can be found here: http://ess.stat.wisc.edu/pub/ESS/ . (Also mentioned in the FAQ under "6. R and Emacs".) As you obviously do not fear emacs this is your choice and worth reading its documentation. detlef
