fix() recovery
you should use newf <- edit(newf) or again fix(newf) I hope this helps you. On the contrary I discovered a bug with the edit window I'm about to fix. This is linked to the displaying of help files. If you have an object that somewhere contains a "_", the edit window will remove it. Stefano

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?
