I am a new mac user and a new R user (but I have used S and Splus in unix environments for a long time). I have installed R and in general it seems to be working fine. Here is a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with: In an R session, hitting the TAB key twice produces a list of files in the current directory. This is apparently some type of tab completion behavior from my shell (but the behavior does not happen in the parent shell). Any idea on how to stop this? It causes problems when reading in code from others who use TABs to format. -- pr ========================================================================== Paul Rathouz, Asst.

Starting R with --no-readline will stop it (but will also disable command-line editing). -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc. Professor, Biostatistics tlumley@u.washington.edu University of Washington, Seattle
