I used to use the block feature in qedit off and on, it was handy, but I use RCode excluisively for RBase code now. One thing I don't think I could do without is R:Code's ability to copy a command to the R> from a perfectly formatted commnad block in R:COde while stripping out continuation characters and excess spaces on the way.
