[R] print only a few lines of an object

In an R session, when I type the name of an object, R prints the entire object
(for example, a 20000 x 5 data.frame).  Is it possible to change the default
behavior so that only the first five and last five rows are printed?

Similarly, if the object is a 20000 x 200 matrix, the default behavior will be
to print first five and last five columns, combined with first five and last
five rows.

Thanks,
Naresh

Sure. Re-define the print method for those objects. Can't say I recommend
this, but it can be done.
