Dear Stefano,
I'd like to bring to your attention that AlphaX can be easily used
with R these days again. However, the information offered at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#External-editors
is quite outdated. Please fix the information offered there under
point 6.2 External editors as follows:
__________________________________
R accepts the Apple Event command open. This means than an external
editor can communicate with R sending portions or entire scripts of
R code to execute via files. This is the approach used by the S+/R
mode in Alpha X (see http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Software/AlphaX)
. This mode is quite powerful and supports in a convenient manner
the writing and execution of R scripts from within AlphaX. Moreover,
the mode is written in Tcl, can therefore be easily extended.
Which AlphaX to use? It is recommended to use the latest beta
development release of AlphaX, since it contains a well working S+/R
mode. However, if you prefer to use one of the stable releases of
AlphaX (version 8.0.2), you need first to install a small fix for
the S+/R mode to interact properly with the current generation of
the R software. The fix is available at
http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/SimSoftware2.html#S+R_Mode
and hints on its use and installation are available at
http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/
AlphaXTkAndRInOSX.
