Hi all,

Read a string of data and had this message during a plot run.

Warning message:
closing unused connection 3 (Lines)

Not sure what this means or if it should be of concern.

Tnx.

It means R tidied up after you.  But it may have tidied up things you 
dropped by mistake, hence the warning.

Without a full example (see the footer of this message) we cannot tell 
what you (or a package you are using) did wrong.

That's the main point. But one possibility might be that if they're using
TINN-R on Windows, this warning occurs all the time as Tinn-R opens
connections for sourcing data into R. Totally innocuous. But just a guess
without the info as above.
