Finding out the number of times a loop has run

Hi,

Suppose I have:
  for(i in 1:100000)
     rnorm(100000)
(just a fake example, as my actual example is too long)

Is it possible to get the loop to print out i each time it has run?
Something like:
  for(i in 1:100000) {
     print(i)
     rnorm(100000)
  }
will only print i after the loop is completed.  But if I want to print out
i whenever it re-enters the loop, is it possible (so I know how many times
the loop has been run)?
Kevin,

you know that all people are asked to read the FAQs (in particlular the 
R for Windows FAQs in this case - regarding buffered output!) before 
asking questions on R-help ...

Uwe

Cheers,

Kevin
