Konstantinos,
there is a bug in rw0632 which, essentially, reset the console
to 'buffered mode' every time some input was requested. In practice,
this means that you had to re-hit Ctrl+W after any other command you
type (and also after other interactions, e.g., with readline()).
I hope to have fixed this bug (signaled some time ago on r-help
by K. Halvorsen) in rw0633. In this release, there are also
a 'flush.console()' function which let to update the console
on demand. So, I will suggest to update (only reason against:
Brian Ripley and I hope to make available a Windows binary version
of R0.64.0 during next week; hence, you can decide to wait for it).
