Peter, I see that you do not think Rcmdr should be used to as a program editor for R code. I understand that modifying Rmcdr to make it an editor would be an enormous undertaking, nevertheless, having a program editor that works with Rcmdr would be a wonderful addition to what is already an outstanding package. It would be nice to know that my R code was automatically formatted as I enter it into Rcmdr. John

I don't think that the Ctext widget is currently provided via the tcltk package. I still think that people who want a real programming editor are better off not using the Rcmdr for that purpose.
