here's what i use. how about you?
MDI = no font = TT Courier New points = 10 style = normal rows = 25 columns = 80 pgrows = 25 pgcolumns = 80 setwidthonresize = yes bufbytes = 250000 buflines = 8000 background = black normaltext = gray usertext = DeepPink pagerbg = gray15 pagertext = yellow highlight = DeepSkyBlue buffered = yes
points = 10
background = grey10
normaltext = ghostwhite
usertext = DeepBlue
pagerbg = white
pagertext = orange
highlight = goldenrod4
mdi? gross. :(
no mdi, sdi.
you don't set it in Rconsole? or what? mdi is default.
on install it gives you the option.
i think that just sets the line in ``C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.10.1\etc\Rconsole''.
i'm modifying that file directly. maybe you're putting an override copy in your user home directory, so you don't need the line, because it's already correctly set in the main one.

So do you guys use R daily? I use it for plotting stuff mostly (did some distribution fitting recently), and every time I have to use it I have to learn everything again. I hate those weird function and argument names <_<
i use it whenever i have an empirical project. :)
i use it pretty much daily, yeah. it has really grown on me. i don't know what languages you prefer andre but R in very intuitively appealing to me. you could always write your own little package that renamed the functions you use to be more useful. for example i like creating a function
p <- function(...) paste(..., sep="")
> p <- function(... , sep= "" ) paste(... , sep=sep)
> p(1,2,3,4)
[1] "1234"
> p(1,2,3,4,sep="9")
[1] "1929394"
i find the p function invaluable when dynamically referencing variables.
p <- function(...) paste(..., sep="")
> p <- function(... , sep= "" ) paste(... , sep=sep)
> p(1,2,3,4)
[1] "1234"
> p(1,2,3,4,sep="9")
[1] "1929394"

shit...did it again.
Its naming conventions bugs me... The other day it took me hours to find "read.fwf()". The argument names are also crazy... I have code that looks like this:
las, xpd, oma, mar? Really? :P
It can generate awesome plots though. I understand R is a great tool... Possibly it carries too much weight due to S compatibility or something.
par(las = 1) par(xpd = NA) par(oma = c(1.2, 2.6, 0, 1)) par(mar = c(2.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5))
las, xpd, oma, mar? Really? :P

yeah, that is certainly true. i have spent much time on different occasions trying to track down parameters which i once used or seen but now can't remember.
BTW there's a new R book by O'Reilly: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596801717

Should I have heard about this guy?
dunno

yeah, he sounds like a small badass but no i haven't heard of him before. i was just commenting because your post sounded like O'Reilly had written the book and i thought that would be pretty unreal.
oh
o'reilly is a publishing house

yeah, my bad. not this guy :)
how dare you use my website to increase his pagerank
sorry, i would delete it but...
hahah
