Dear all,

Can anyone please tell me when the script editor was introduced in the Rgui on 
windows? (And/or where to look for a listing of changes throughout history).

There are two places to look for changes: the NEWS* files, and the Subversion change log. You can find the former if you run

help.start()

Only the current NEWS file has a main link, but there are links to the older ones at the bottom of it.

The script editor is really old. It first appeared in R 2.0.0, with an entry in the Windows-specific news file CHANGES. (The CHANGES file is only linked into the help system on Windows. Since R 2.15.0 Windows changes are announced in the same file(s) as other changes.) The CHANGES entry was

- Added Rgui script editor by Chris Jackson.

This happened in svn revision 28991, which I committed in April, 2004.
