R Stop Icon Bug

Congratulations on an excellent program. A minor bug, if while  
executing a R source file, I start up the HTML help system and then  
close it, the STOP icon in the console window remains dimmed. The  
only way of stopping the current execution is to quit R.

I'm running the G5 2.1.1 version under MacOS X 10.4.1 but I'm certain  
it occurred with previous versions.

Thanks for the report.
From the GUI, yes (in fact, I'm surprised <Esc> doesn't work - I'll  
look into that). Instead of quitting R you can still send the INT  
signal to R which is equal to pressing "Stop", in Terminal type:
killall -INT R

Cheers,
Simon
