If I edit a function in fix() and the function has a syntax error, I am
unable to recover the edit file on Macintosh the way I do on other
platforms. This is what I get:
fix(newf)
Error in edit(name, file, editor) : An error occurred on line 5
use a command like
x <- edit()
to recover
newf <- edit()
Error in edit(name, file, editor) : unable to open file to read
Here, edit() opens an empty window instead of a window with the code from
the previous fix().
Any suggestions? Thanks!
