Spinning wheel when running script

Hello, I am new to Mac OS having moved off Windows PCs, and I am struggling to figure out how to use R project on the Mac. Often when I enter script into the console, R goes off into a never ending ?Not responding? state ? the spinning wheel symbol shows. My usual pattern is that I develop R script in the editor, and then copy the lines I want to run, and paste them into the R Console window. On Mac it sometimes works and other times leads to the spinning wheel. I also have tried using the CMD-Return combination to run the lines with the same results.
Spinning wheel means that R has entered C code that is not interruptible. It's no different from the Windows version except that Windows GUI doesn't even have the indicator. If you are running a script (interpreted code), you can interrupt it with <Esc> or the Stop button and there is no spinning wheel. Cheers, Simon
Is there a different recommended way to develop, test, and run scripts on the Mac version? Is the latest Mac OS release a beta release; should I be using an older version? Thanks for any advice on how to proceed.
