R help - Mar 2010 - How To Display Current/Next Line Using browser()

Hi,

I'm running R 2.10 on a Linux console, inserted a call to browser() in an R
script that I source() form the R command line.  Two quick questions:

(1) Once you are in the "browser prompt," is there any way to display
the
current/next line to be executed without executing it?  I can issue an
"n"
command to view the line, but was wondering if there's a simple
"display
current line" command to view the source code before I execute it.

(2) Is there any way to exit the browser() prompt to go back to the R prompt
without typing "c" to continue execution?  I tried using Ctl-C, but
this
stays within the browser.

I searched for other posts on these but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

I don't know of a way.  If the code was sourced with source references, 
it may tell you the line number, and you could look it up from that, but 
I don't think there's any way to just say "show me the next
line".

Q will quit the browser.  The ?browser help page gives the full list of 
commands.
