I want to modify my Gui preferences to get rid of the MDI toolbar and status bar. [ Under Windows XP and R 1.8.1 and 1.9.0.]
When I uncheck the boxes and click "apply" I am told to save the preferences and the changes will take effect when restarting R. I click "save" and a box comes up to ask me to save Rconsole (I'm not sure where this should be saved but I navigate my way to where the old Rconsole was and save on top of it.
?Rconsole tells you where the copy in use is saved.
What it says is:
There are system copies of these files in 'R_HOME\etc'. Users can
have personal copies of the files: these are looked for in the
location given by the environment variable 'R_USER'. The system
files are read only if a corresponding personal file is not found. If the environment variable 'R_USER' is not set, the R system sets
it to 'HOME' if that is set (stripping any trailing slash),
otherwise to '{HOMEDRIVE}{HOMEPATH}' if 'HOMEDRIVE' is set
otherwise to the working directory.Now under Control Panel>System>Advanced I find a box listing environmental variables. I find no R_HOME or R_USER listed there so presumably they are not set.
I'm not sure how to find 'HOME' but I presume that it is the path that appears in the 'Change directory' box when you open this through the gui. In which case for me 'HOME' is
C:\apps\R\rw1090
Now I have 3 versions of Rconsole near here. They are in
C:\apps\R\rw1090\etc C:\apps\R\rw1090 and C:\apps\R
I still don't know how to change my Gui preferences!
