Hi! A very basic question, but me and the manual are not friends yet... How do I temporarily stop an execution - that is: stop it until I press a certain key ? /Tomas Svensson -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

(I would cause that `suspend' or `pause' execution.) That's functionality of your OS/shell, not of R. Since you haven't told us your OS ... On Unix/Linux ^Z will probably work (restart with fg). On Windows there is no way: it is hard enough to stop rather than pause. On a classic Mac I think you can't even stop permanently in 1.2.3, but will be able to in 1.3.0. One day when (if) R has execution threads it may be able to suspend them individually.
