Some of us would just edit the Rconsole file in a text editor. -- Brian D.

To expand on that: by default, Save puts the preferences in a file called Rconsole in the current directory; on startup, R looks for Rconsole in the R_USER directory (which defaults to the current directory), and if it doesn't find one there, in the R_HOME/etc directory. However, there's a bug in the current beta: near the end it writes out the lines ## Initial position of the graphics window ## (pixels, <0 values from opposite edge) xgraphics = ygraphics = but it can't read those because of the missing values. I'll try to get that fixed for 1.8.0. >> Also, the scroll window for selecting colors is very small >> and awkward.

That would make sense, but it's not likely to happen (and certainly won't for 1.8.0): we've more or less stopped adding features to the current Rgui. If I (or someone else) ever gets time, I intend to replace it with an all new one. Duncan Murdoch __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

[Rd] Problem with console in Windows GUI (PR#4381)
Full_Name: Andrew Zachary Version: 1.7.1 OS: XP Pro Submission from: (NULL) (24.44.128.138) The R-console window in the Windows GUI has a nice feature that lets you save your preferences for font sizes and background and foreground colors. Unhappily, there is no way to load these preferences back in when starting a new session. Also, the scroll window for selecting colors is very small and awkward. If I want to select a color which is towards the top or the bottom of the list, I have to scrolls (slowly) through all the entries to get to it. Would make more sense to have a color window with user-selectable colors. Thanks! Andrew Zachary __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
