How do I change the editor in R command window?

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.

Yours sincerely Rasmus Benestad

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.
