No, I mean have a separate setting for the path to R from the name of the executable. It seems that inferior-R-program-name is intended for the case where the R executable is called something other than R, and there isn't a convenient way to say that it is called R but lives in /Applications/StartR.app/RAqua.app/Contents/bin. Traditionally this doesn't arise because R would be on the the shell's PATH, but that is less reliably true once you have GUI operating systems. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.
