I'll have to try it again. Thanks!
>From my Leo's usage patterns I think I'm still praying at the emacs church. I guess my soul is saved (for now). But I find Leo great, and I always wish I could use it more. Making it understand R syntax for syntax highlighting seems to be relatively easy, more so with the recent changes in Leo's code (http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/coloring.html), and at least one other R user who also frequents R-help, Ed Borasky, is interested in these issues (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1524935&forum_id=10226). I think what would be a real blast is to have Leo understand R (and LaTeX), more or less the way leo understands Python. For instance, when one imports a Python file it gets broken down ("outlined") by function, method, etc. This seems doable (e.g., http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3614539), but I haven't yet had time to look at it. And then, Leo also offers a general way (which I think is still only fully exploited with Python files) for autocompletion, etc, (though this seems to be a harder problem). Just my random ramblings.
