cool, thanks for the feedback. does it do what you want/need?

i received another mail from a user running into the same problem on windows 
(proxy settings in his company, CRAN downloads failed). thanks for this hint!

according to
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-
functions-fail_002e

calling

  setInternet2(TRUE)

in a running R session should have the same effect, can you confirm this? if 
that is the case, you could try to add this command to 

  settings -> configure RKWard -> R-backend -> options box at the bottom

i have also seen (again) that the file opening dialog reliably crashed RKWard 
0.6.0. we experimented a little and found out that setting the initial working 
directory to something accessible like

  setwd("C:/") 

acts as a workaround, so having this command in the options box can relieve 
you from that problem. however, both problems should be solvable in a more 
obvious manner.
