Hello there, I have been using WinEdt as a text editor for a while. I use it in a simple general purpose way, and take advantage of just a few of the 100's (1000s?) of features. I would say that used this way it is certainly not more difficult than R. So it would seem that if you are successful teaching R to biologists, additionally learning WinEdt should not push anyone over the edge.
Still, another alternative is Pico, which you can get for free for Windoze. By the way, although Notepad works for R scripts, when I tried Wordpad it did not. Probably puts whacko crapola at the end of each line. Cheers, =Randy= R.
