Is there any way to have a function editing window that stays open, you make changes, save and then in the main command prompt the new state of the function could be tested. If you have used Matlab you will know what I mean. This would be useful for me because I seem to be continuously runiing fix(), exiting from the editor, running the function, fix() and so on.

Edit, make changes, and then Eval-function (or region, or line, or buffer), which places that in your running R. If (X)Emacs does not suit you, I think a variety of editors have the features you ask for.
