for all of you using the windows version:
i think having a look at the r-winedt
interface by volker ligges is a good idea.
it works quite nicely.

i talked to volker,
and at the moment,
there is something which could be improved,
anmley it would be nice if one could get access to the current
history buffer.

is there a way of getting it
(i.e. exactly what would be saved in .Rhistory if one were to exit right
now)?

then one could interactively edit the current session
in winedt.
