Hello,

How to stop the process when there is a mishandling making R system
frozen? If there is a way other than quitting the system when frozen
occurs?

Thank you,
Shengzhe

On Unix you can send one of the 'USR' signals to 'kill'.  See 
?Signals.

Hit "ESC" in the console.  If that doesn't work, there's a bug.  Report 
it to the package maintainer if you're running package code, or here if 
it's base code.  Be sure to give enough details that others can see 
things freeze.

And if it really is frozen, you can use Ctrl-Alt-Del to open the Windows 
  Task Manager, select the Rgui application, and "End task".  Assuming 
you have permission, etc.

If you are using XEmacs, it's not that easy.  I'm not completely 
clear on the protocol in that case, but I think you have to first click 
in the R window, then <ctrl-G> + <ctrl-C> + <ctrl-C>.  Perhaps an Emacs 
wizard will enlighten us.

Yes, I was talking about Rgui.exe.  ESC doesn't stop Rterm.exe, which is 
what XEmacs is running.
