Emacs or X-emacs with ess (Emacs Speaks Statistics) is great on Linux and Mac (can be the console you saw on Mac) for syntax highlight, programming and debugging. I think there is a package to visualize the links between functions in a package, but I don't know its name (if anybody knows it, I will love to know it).

Hi Michael, Great topic - I hope to see others respond. For me there are several big "time savers" with using R (on windows XP), search them on google : 1) tinn-r, for syntax highlighting. 2) "Rexcel" package - for getting data from excel. (BTW, for excel, I also recommend the ASAP utillities) 3) "debug" package - especially the mtrace command, that allows for "live" debugging of a function 4) www.rseek.org and http://r-project.markmail.org/ , for searching R related things in general and in the forum. I hope for more good tips from people, Tal On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 7:58 PM, Michael <comtech....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Could anybody point me to some latest productivity tools in R?
