[R] showing available environment variables
I have searched through the mailing lists and the docs, and I seem completely unable to find a way to make R list all available environment variables that it uses. The reason that I want to do this is the following: The default program for reading files when using openVignettes on my system is ggv. ggv is broken. I would therefore like to use a different program, and I found the variable R_PDFVIEWER which should do the trick. However, so far no luck. Therefore, how do I ask R what variables are available, and how do I get it to show what it is currently set to. Thanks!

In this specific case you need to look at the R-admin manual for what various variables do, and Sys.getenv(R_PDFVIEWER) or Sys.getenv() for the current value or list of values. R_PDFVIEWER is set in R_HOME/etc/Renviron, and you can override the setting via ~/.Renviron (see ?Startup). -- Brian D.
