Word wrapping in Windows XP

[frances]

Hi, guys-

I'm new to R, but what I've found in searching for my answer is that
there isn't anything about customizing R so that I can work faster.

One of my main problems is the lack of word wrapping in my version
running on Windows XP. I noticed that my friends with the Mac OS have
word wrapping.

Is there a way to enable word wrapping in R running on a Windows
machine?

Thanks!!

What do you mean by 'word wrapping'? I run on Windows Vista. R runs
fine. I don't know where word wrapping would be an issue...

OK, now I understand.

R is a *slightly* free form language. I use line breaks and indents
for readability, like this:

X11(width=14.2, height=10.0)
layout(rbind(
c(1,1,2,3,4,5,6),
c(1,1,7,8,9,10,11),
c(12,12,13,14,15,16,17),
c(12,12,18,19,20,21,22)
),
height=c(1,1,1,1,1,1)
)
layout.show(22)

When the text in a script is longer than the length of the windows, I want the rest of the text to continue on the next line, so that everything fits in the viewing window.

Often, I find that I have to scroll horizontally for a while to finish a line and scroll back to continue to the next line. Obviously, this wastes time, so I want to eliminate horizontal scrolling altogether.

In the attached image, note the circled lines. These lines do not exhibit any kind of wrapping whatsoever.

This is just frustrating for me and a few others, I'm sure.

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Frances,

I don't really run windows and it's a pain to experiment in VMWare,
but have you checked out this list of editors:

particularly Tinn-R, which some people seem to like?
