I am trying to increase the memory size in R (windows version), but have truble in understanding how to do it. The help file tells me to use the --max-mem-size command line flag but it's still not clear to me how I shoud do this...what's the difference between a "command line flag" and a command? Thank you for your help to a r-beginner!

Then this becomes irrelevant to the user.

Please read the rw-FAQs. Uwe Ligges BTW: If you don't have installed more than 256M of RAM, it makes not much sense to increase the max-mem-size, because your machine will begin swapping ... -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
