Hi R users! Is there a way to call the editor with command line options? I.e. I want to use Vim and set it automatically in R mode when it is started. This requires something like vim -c "set syn=r" as the start command. Any ideas? I am using R 1.5.1 under Win 2000.

Not possible on Windows. The nub of the problem is that commands can contain spaces, so there is no way to parse something like that. options(editor='vim -c "set syn=r"') does work on Linux, which assumes file paths do not contain spaces (even though they can do so).
