Prompt with scan()
Do you mean readline()?
readline has a 32-character limit, which you can get around as follows:
myreadline <- function(prompt="") {
cat(prompt)
readLines(n=1)
}

Hello, I am using R to teach an undergraduate course in Econometrics. For class demonstration purposes, I plan to prepare my scripts and be able to step through them. I noticed that the built-in demo prompts for an enter with what looks like the scan() function, but replaces the n: prompt with different text. The on-line documention does not make it clear to me how to do this. Suggestions?
