If, for whatever reason, you are a CLI addict and insist on running R from Terminal.app, then a major nuisance is that ? and ?? write to the same terminal window. This can be helped by installing AquaLess from http://aqualess.sourceforge.net/ and setting options(pager="aless") in R. This allows you to browse R objects by page() as well. You can also use aless to pipe man output if you export PAGER=aless in bash. Aqualess did not work properly in Leopard/Tiger for about 2 years, but version 1.6 seems to be fine. Of course R.app gives you the multiple windows and much more. ============================================================= Jan de Leeuw, 11667 Steinhoff Rd, Frazier Park, CA 93225 home 661-245-1725 skype 661-347-0667 global 254-381-4905 .mac: jdeleeuw +++ aim: deleeuwjan +++ skype: j_deleeuw ========================================================== Many nights on the road and not dead yet --- the end of autumn.
