R help - Jul 2004 - Why does summary does not produce output?

Hello,

I'm a starting user of R. I have installed R 1.9.1 and winedt 5.4

If I run the example from written with winedt. The summary command does not
produce any output. It does when I repeat the command manualy in R. Can
someone explain me what can be the problem?

     library(MASS)
     data(anorexia)
     anorex.1 <- glm(Postwt ~ Prewt + Treat + offset(Prewt),
                 family = gaussian, data = anorexia)
     summary(anorex.1)

Regards

Is the winedt interface like source() or like source(...,echo=TRUE)? 

If the former, you need to print() objects explicitly, including
summaries.

Well, you can also submit code using the "paste" button or shortcut
(Alt-P).
