[Blindmath] R statistics software

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Hi,
R is the recommended software. I've made the change you suggested so we'll
see how things go from here.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

Is R the recommended software?
If so it will make things so much easier...

OK, when you install R you get a short cut on the desktop for it - 
version 2.10 perhaps which is due for release. (I haven't' downloaded it
yet).

You need to edit this shortcut so that it points to rterm.exe instead 
of rgui.exe

There is nothing else you can do to make it more accessible.

I'm happy to answer questions but need to know what situation you're in.

Cheers,
Jonathan
