Hi Jeff,
Please see my original question.
You were told that RGui is not an editor.
Are you implying that your initial message contained an implicit request
for instructions on how to get R code in an .R file to be opened
automagically when double-clicked or to have "open in <some editor>"
appear when right-clicked? (I didn't see that clearly expressed.)
If you want something else to happen with a file that has a .R extension
when double-clicked or right-clicked in a GUI file manager, then you
need to configure your OS to do whatever else it is that you expect.
This is not really an R question. It's an OS question. There are many
editors that can also bring up R consoles when the right key combo is
pressed. They do require some study for their specific actions, but this
is not really the place to get guidance on the fine details.

When using RGui, it is up to you to edit your R file in an external editor like Notepad++
and copy paste code snippets or use source("yourfile.R") as desired.

Hi Andrew/Petr,
Thanks for the replies.
In R Console if I run:
R.home("bin")
I get the following
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.2/bin/x64"
which is where
Rgui.exe is (within the x64 folder there are 13 files in total: 8 . exe
and 5 .dll).
In file Explorer if I right-click on a .R file -> Open With -> R for
Windows GUI Front-End
RGui (64-bit) opens but the .R file does not appear in the editor.

In an R session, run this:

Paste the directory found above, then select "Rgui.exe"

Hi,
My OS is Windows 11 Pro 64-Bit, I have R 4.2.2 and RStudio installed.
If I double-click on a .R file in File Explorer the OS gives me the
option of opening the .R in RStudio, or Look for an app in the
Microsoft
Store, or More Apps. Similarly with a right-click.
I would like to associate a .R file with the RGui, not RStudio, thus
when I double-click on a .R file in File Explorer the .R file opens in
the R Editor in RGui.
On my PC R 4.2.2 is located in "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.2/etc"
Please can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to
associate?
thanks,
Amarjit
