Fix an Object

Description:

     'fix' invokes 'edit' on 'x' and then assigns the new (edited)
     version of 'x' in the user's workspace.

Usage:

     fix(x, ...)

Arguments:

       x: the name of an R object, as a name or a character string.

     ...: arguments to pass to editor: see 'edit'.

Details:

     The name supplied as 'x' need not exist as an R object, in  which
     case a function with no arguments and an empty body is supplied 
     for editing.

     Editing an R object may change it in ways other than are obvious:
     see the comment under 'edit'.  See 'edit.data.frame' for changes
     that can occur when editing a data frame or matrix.

See Also:

     'edit', 'edit.data.frame'

Examples:

     ## Not run: 
      ## Assume 'my.fun' is a user defined function :
      fix(my.fun)
      ## now my.fun is changed
      ## Also,
      fix(my.data.frame) # calls up data editor
      fix(my.data.frame, factor.mode="char") # use of ...
     ## End(Not run)
