In my Rprofile I have startup code to do various things, intended for when I use the Rgui console. Some of these are causing problems in JGR now that I've installed it. How can I test for R
running with Rgui to do some of these things only there?

Look at .Platform$GUI. It shows "Rgui" or "RTerm" for those two. I don't have JGR installed, but I'd guess it shows something differently there.

Thanks, Duncan

This is helpful. For anyone else's reference, both JGR and eclipse/StatET (Win XP) deliver the following

> .Platform$GUI
[1] "unknown"

What prompted this was that I have code in Rprofile to save/restore my session history. But JGR replies
Error in loadhistory(file) :
 'loadhistory' can only be used in Rgui and Rterm

Then it hung on exit with savehistory(), forcing a crtl-alt-del excursion to the task manager.
