Are you sure you are only getting the last 5 columns, rows 1723:2200?
There isn't a scroll bar some place?
What do you get from the following?
(tst <- data.frame(array(rnorm(500), dim=c(500, 6))))
This should come in 2 sets of 500 rows, the first with 5 columns, the
second with only 1. If what you said earlier is accurate, I would guess
that when this is done, the screen would display rows 23:500 of column
6. Is this what you get?
If you still have troubles, check "?sink", pipe the output to a
text
file file, and look at the file with some other application, e.g.:
sink("huh.txt")
(tst <- data.frame(array(rnorm(500), dim=c(500, 6))))
sink()
hope this helps.
