I'm getting this, too! It makes no difference to the running of software....I'd just like to know what it means. Cheers

Good morning, all! I'm seeing some strange behavior with R's prompt in the R console. I'm running Mac OS X (10.8.2) on a MacBook Air. After assigning the first variable, R inserts that variable name multiple times before the prompt (>). It then remains but with a different number of repetitions for subsequent command submissions. I've tried to "reset" the prompt with options(prompt=">") but that doesn't appear to work. (See Below). Any thoughts? Many thanks and best regards!
