[Blindmath] Article: 'R' language bringing statistical analytics to the masses (Q&A)

[Christine Szostak]

Hi,
  Yes, you just have to go into properties and change rgui to rterm. This 
will get R to default to a terminal instead of the GUI. If you have not yet 
tried out R, when you first download it, since it defaults to the GUI, which 
is very JAWS non-user-friendly, it will seem like R is really incompatible.

  The only limit of R is it does require a fair amount of learning on the 
user's part, but if you are willing to put the effort in, it is worth it in 
my opinion as it is smaller than SPSS and similar programs and is free, 
always a plus:).
Many  thanks,
Christine
