R help - Apr 1999 - Console Output while running scripts

Hi,

I am using 0.63.2 on Windows. I have some functions
programmed to do repetitive tasks and have some
print(variables) statements to check how my program is progressing
but get no output on screen (console) while the program is running.
I tried CTRL-W as the help says but I get no screen output
before each run terminates. Probably some kind of setting needs to be
predefined correctly.

Any clues ?

Best,
Costas

  Konstantinos,
  there is a bug in rw0632 which, essentially, reset the console
  to 'buffered mode' every time some input was requested. In practice,
  this means that you had to re-hit Ctrl+W after any other command you 
  type (and also after other interactions, e.g., with readline()). 

  I hope to have fixed this bug (signaled some time ago on r-help
  by K. Halvorsen) in rw0633. In this release, there are also
  a 'flush.console()' function which let to update the console
  on demand. So, I will suggest to update (only reason against:
  Brian Ripley and I hope to make available a Windows binary version
  of R0.64.0 during next week; hence, you can decide to wait for it).

  guido
