RE: [R] using tcltk in R under ESS/XEmacs on Windows
Tony:
It is indeed most amazing that you have been able to get ESS/Emacs
running under Windows. And much appreciated by those of us who have to
moil around
with MessySoft machines.
Thanks to all who have contributed to the effort.
Cheers,
Shawn Boles

It most likely is Windows specific. It's most amazing that we
actually have ESS/(X)Emacs working under windows in the first place.
Unfortunately, I'm in transit for the next few weeks, but I'll
probably have a windows machine on my desk sometime after that. Argh.

A while back I posted an R function to R-help:

where the default value for the `dir' argument is to run
the tcltk directory
chooser and get the directory name chosen. (Thanks to
Prof. John Fox for
the tcltk part!!) While this function works fine under
Rgui on Windows, it
doesn't work when running R within ESS (5.2.3) and XEmacs
(21.4.13). The
directory chooser never shows up, and dir just gets the
empty string. Does
anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'd very
much appreciate
any pointers.

Andy,
This works under FC2 using ESS 5.2.3 with XEmacs version 21.4.15, so
presumably there is something specific to the Windows
implementation?
Given Prof. Fox's follow-up and your obvservation, I guess the problem
_is_
Windows-specific. 8-(
Also, two things:
1. You are missing a closing brace above, which I presume may be a
simple copy and paste issue.
Yes. My apologies.
2. If you successfully change the directory, the cd()
function itself is
deleted from the global environment via your rm(...), as you
currently
have it implemented. I am not sure if this is intentional or not.
Well, sort of. I've placed it in a small package along with other
handy
stuff, so that won't be a problem.
Best,
Andy
HTH,
