R help - May 2009 - Supressing the enumeration of output in console

Hi!
Pretty low content question but I've had major trouble finding an answer for
it so I hope it's alright.
I'm obviously new to R, and have been trying to get rid of the numerated
output I get in the console.

What I mean more specifically is that

X<-4;X

comes out as

[1] 4

and I'd like to get rid of the listing [1].

This isn't usually a problem when working with the console but when writing
scripts that print out lines of text it gives a rather unattractive output
in the console.

Thanks in advance!
Mike

Use the 'cat' function to put text on the console without any extra
decoration (you are then responsible for all formatting including line feeds).

Hope this helps,
