I'm running R on Linux and use emacs as my editor. When doing
"edit(vignette(foo.vignette))" I would like to invoke emacs rather than the
default vi. I am able to manually set this by editing $R_HOME/etc/Renviron
but would like to avoid doing this with each install. I assume this can be
accomplished with a flag to .configure or in .Rprofile but I can't find the
syntax in R-admin. Editor is not listed as an environment variable in
appendix B of that manual.
So, help is appreciated as I've probably missed something.

Mark,
See ?options for 'editor'. This is also referenced in ?edit, where the
default value for the 'editor' argument is getOption("editor").
Thus, in your .Rprofile, put:
options(editor="emacs")
HTH,
