[R] Getting alternative editor to stay as a foreground task

I apologise in advance if this question ought to be
directed elsewhere. I'm trying to use the R sytnax
highlighter for JEdit. This was mentioned in R-help a while 
ago and I'm hoping a few R users will have a (probably
obvious) solution.
(http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/8812.html)

Usually when one goes "fix(myfun)", the function is opened
in the text editor, R stops responding until the editing is
done, and changes are saved back into myfun. With JEdit,
however, control passes straight back to R and changes made
within JEdit aren't reflected in myfun.

Any advice would be very welcome. I'm using R 1.7.1 on 
Windows 2000.
