Earlier I posted the message below to R-announce. Please, let me appologize
for this mistake, it was not intended. The solution was provided by Duncan
Murdoch who passed on a message he recieved from Brian Ripley which informed
me that settimg R_Interactive to 1 changes the default behavor of aborting
on an error.
Thankyou, Don Wingate.

Subject: Parse Errors
Dear R Development Team,
Using Thomas Baier's R Com Server -- or a dll I am building which supports
an evaluate function that is based on Baier's function R_Proxy_evaluate
contained in proxy_impl.c -- when I issue an invalid command to R such as
"plo(x)" the program crashes. There is code in R_Proxy_evaluate to
test for
a parse error before actually generating code and issuing the command - He
calls R_Parse1Buffer(&lBuffer,0,&lStatus) and then tests the value of
lStatus for parse error. The trouble is that lStatus == PARSE_OK even though
the command is invalid, so the evaluation continues until eval() is called,
at which point R terminates and crashes the program. (It does write an
error message to the console first, but crashes after that.)
Is there a way to handle this? The same command can be issued inside
RGui.exe or RTerm.exe with out a problem.
Thankyou, Don Wingate.
