I must be reading the help file for gc() wrong. I thought it said that gc(verbose=FALSE) will run the garbage collection without printing the Ncells/Vcells summary. However, this is what I get: gc(verbose = FALSE) used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb) Ncells 267097 14.3 531268 28.4 531268 28.4 Vcells 429302 3.3 20829406 159.0 55923977 426.7 I'm embedding this in an Sweave/TeX file, so I *really* can't have this printing out. Suggestions other than manually editing the TeX file? Robin Jeffries MS, DrPH Candidate Department of Biostatistics UCLA 530-624-0428

invisible(gc()) worked perfectly. Thanks Jeff. @ Josh: I know how to toggle showing/hiding command echos, but I haven't figured out how to toggle on/off any printed output.
