Hi All,

1) Is it possible to set the options such that R opens a new script editor
every time I start the R and 2) specify the size of windows.

Hi Krishna,
You can start an editor like this:

system("my_editor",wait=FALSE)

where "my_editor" is the name of your favorite editor. Adding this line to your .First function will start that editor when you start R. Getting a particular window size depends upon whether you can specify the size on the command line. Say you're using NEdit. You could do something like this:

cat("How many rows, Krishna?")
rows<-scan(n=1)
cat("How many columns, Krishna?")
columns<-scan(n=1)
system(
 paste("nedit -rows",rows,"-columns",columns,collapse=" "),
 wait=FALSE)
