I like Tinn-R but it seems like there is only a very old version of Tinn-R which works standalone.
Hi Werner, Three options: I have previously posted about using Emacs + ESS on a USB stick: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/107419.html Tinn-R will work portably. I have simply copied the installed Tinn-R folder from one machine to another on which I do not have administrator privileges and therefore cannot do a normal install. Another option is Notepad++ (http://notepad- plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm). There is even a portable version available fom www.portableapps.com. Andrew Redd has created (and is continuing to develop) NppToR (http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~aredd/site/?q=node/37) which provides syntax highlighting, code folding and code passing to R. Notepad++ has a tabbed interface as well as add-ons including a file explorer, windows manager and multiclipboard manager. It also allows for the recording of macros, and the instructions found at this blog (http://aztecpassage.blogspot.com/2007/11/load-new-file-from-template-in- notepad.html) use Notepad++'s built-in capacity to run external tools to create new files from templates.
