Issue with spelling in Aquamacs

setwd("/Documents/T?m?")

Hi, I'm quite new using R in Mac OS X and my problem is the follow:

When I write a word in spanish with accent (e.g. d?a) or with the letter
"?", the Aquamacs output is \386 for accetuated words and . for ? (even in
graphics). But when I use R 'alone' it respect such words. For example,
using Aquamacs,

c("a?o","d?a") returns: a.o d\386a

and the same happens with the graphics.

Can somebody help me with this issue? Or could you recommend me another good
R editor that doesn't have this kind of problems?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem with Aquamacs (I'm Aquamacs noob) and R. E.g.

setwd("/Documents/T?m?")

Error in setwd("/Documents/T\344m\344") : cannot change working directory

Any ideas what's wrong?

You've not (neither of you) told us the 'at a minimum' information required
in the posting guide, so you have made it unnecessarily difficult to help
you debug your mistakes. ?This is a symptom of sending (e.g.) latin-1 text
to R running in a UTF-8 locale. ?So check sessionInfo() (run in the same way
you send these commands) and check the encoding of your Aquamacs buffers.

And I suspect you are using ESS to send code from Aquamacs to R, so see the
R FAQ Q6.1 for where to ask for further help.

Thanks for the response. I set language to german, and my sessioninfo
is shown below. Setting language to german (in Aquamacs) did not
change this behaviour.
