     The file `Rconsole' configures the R GUI console in this Windows
     port. The file `Rdevga' configures the graphics devices `windows',
     `win.graph', `win.metafile' and `win.print'.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     There are system copies of these files in `R_HOME\etc'. Users can
     have personal copies of the files: these are looked for in the
     location given by the environment variable `R_USER'. The system
     files are read only if a corresponding personal file is not found.

     If the environment variable `R_USER' is not set, the R system sets
     it to `HOME' if that is set (stripping any trailing slash),
     otherwise to `HOMEDIR:HOMEPATH' is `HOMEDIR' is set otherwise to
     the working directory.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Each of the files contains details in comments of how to set the
     values.

     At the time of writing `Rdevga' configured the mapping of font
     numbers to fonts, and `Rconsole' configured the appearance (single
     or multiple document interface, toolbar, statusbar on MDI), size,
     font and colours of the GUI console, and whether resizing the
     console sets `options("width")'.

     The file `Rconsole' also configures the internal pager.  This
     shares the font and colours of the console, but can be sized
     separately.

_N_o_t_e:

     The `GUI preferences' item on the `Edit' menu brings up an form
     which can be used to edit the console settings, and to save them
     to a file.
