Hi Ly,

First, which "problems" do you mean (or do you refer to endnote II in 
the RMath manual)?

To answer your question: yes it does. And in terms of transferring 
data (e.g. vectors) to R via the plug-in, I have not encountered any 
limitation. In other words, I personally have no need for any "work-
around".

However, the current plug-in does not (yet) allow full two-way 
communication between R and AB, i.e. putting something in R which 
immediately becomes available in AB. We are looking (early stage) at 
possibly integrating another tool which would allow you to move back 
and forth like that between R and AB which, for example, would bypass 
the need for the debugger as you would see your results immediately 
within R.

Hope this answers your question, if not you'll need to be more 
specific I'm afraid.

PS
