Dear all, I would like to ask you if R can produce any kind of sound. It would be useful when code execution stops R to notify me by playing some sound. Is that possible in R? I would like to thank you in advance for your help Best Regards Alex

Haven't tried it myself. Barry

You will probably want to use another sound player and sound file. Jim
