Hi. Googled but did not found the answer for the following little issue. how to force R gui on windows (maybe a specific setting) to always show the last line of output in the window console. My program in R makes measurements every 5 mins in indefinite loop and prints results in the console. The problem: last messages are not visible, The scrolling bar of the gui console gets shorter. I.e. you have to scroll for the last messages. Thanks if anybody knows the sol to this prob. SZ
R gui on windows how to force to always show the last line of output

If I were you, I would use another GUI. The standart GUI (to mee) seems to be very basic and lacks many handy features (e.g. autosave etc). I am not sure which GUI does what you want, but just try a few (list is sorted from intuitive to more complicated): -RStudio (still in Beta but very nive) -TinnR -Rkward -Emacs -ESS (I am quite sure that this one does what you want) -Eclipse - StatET Just try a few....

You may want to add flush.console() to the code.
