[R] Rpad textarea handling

Fri Oct 5 15:20:04 CEST 2007

Hi.

I'm trying to write an Rpad that edits scripts.  Textarea seems like an 
obvious tool, but unlike other input elements, it seems that the 
contents are not sent to R on 'calculate'.  To illustrate using the page 
below: load, F9, edit text, F9.  The original contents of 'script' are 
restored.  Furthermore, I can't eliminate the leading and trailing 
whitespace in the textarea.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
