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.

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.
