I know its very weird, because it worked fine for me up until just
recently. I have not changed any language settings, my linux is in
german and so is my R. This has not (and should not I suppose?) caused
any problems before.. I wouldnt assume this is a bug in ess-rdired but
something thats gone wrong with my system. I just can not even speculate
on what that might be... I found rdired a very nice interface to
managing the R workspace and dont know of any alternative for this task.
Thanks alot,
Henning
