[I knew that. In fact I had seen your note in the TeXmacs archive when I went looking for the status of the R plugin a bit earlier. I was just stating it a little more than usually authoritarian in style, since I thought you might want to pass it back to the TeXmacs developers.] > There is still the issue of sequencing between installs of R and > TeXmacs.
