\title{R for Windows Configuration}
\description{
    The file \code{Rconsole} configures the R GUI console in this
    Windows port. The file \code{Rdevga} configures the graphics devices
    \code{windows}, \code{win.graph}, \code{win.metafile} and \code{win.print}.
}
\value{
    Each of the files contains details in comments of how to set the
    values.

    At the time of writing \code{Rdevga} configured the mapping of font
    numbers to fonts, and \code{Rconsole} configured the appearance
    (single or multiple document interface, toolbar, statusbar on MDI),
    size and colours of the GUI console, and whether resizing the
    console sets \code{\link{options}("width")}.
}
\details{
    There are system copies of these files in \code{R\_HOME\\etc}. Users
    can have personal copies of the files: these are looked for in the
    location given by the environment variable \code{R\_USER}. The system
    files are read only if a corresponding personal file is not found.

    If the environment variable \code{R\_USER} is not set, the \R system
    sets it to \code{HOME} if that is set (stripping any trailing
    slash), otherwise to \code{HOMEDIR:HOMEPATH} is \code{HOMEDIR} is set
    otherwise to the working directory.
