Objects disappearing in my R work space

My problem with providing the code, is MCMC is a fairly integrated process, so I dont know how I would pare it down to send... Would it work to send the MCMC code, and the three *.csv files to go along with it?
I don't understand. If you can't make your code simple enough to post, how do you think we can possibly imagine what you're doing? Duncan Murdoch

by window I mean instances, by runs I mean, runs the my Markov-Chain Monte Carlo simulator
It would probably be better to adopt the terminology that the things you are calling "windows" are "sessions".
I open two instances of R, run a million cycle chain in each instance, and when they finish, neither window has the object I defined to store the runs. I tested this morning and when I open two R windows and run a 5k cycle chain in each instance, neither window has the object I defined to store the runs. This does not happen when I only have one instance of R open
The most common cause of that behavior is failing to assign the output of a function to a name. There is an object named ".Last.value" that hosld the results of the last returned object even it it doesn't have another name. lapply(1:10, I) test<- .Last.value test [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 2 snipped rest of output But as Uwe said ... without the code, ... and your OS (to answer the question about memory) .... and your sessionInfo() to make sure that this is not a GUI-related issue ... we cannot say very much.

???? So you mean you open a million windows at the same time? In that case we really need your definition of "window". .... so... it may be reaching some sort of memory limit
I do not know if any OS / window manager has the capability to open that many numbers of windows. But as I said, we need some difintions and examples. Uwe Ligges --
