Dear Ben,
I do not know how to solve the general problem that backspaces cause within Sweave, but which are needed to implement running counters.
To avoid the specific problems for RandomFields, a new version of RandomFields is uploaded with default "pch="*" instead of pch="!".
Cheers, Martin

Not really a bug (I eventually discovered), but ...
When running GaussRF()/DoSimulateRF() with n>1, the default pch="!" prints backspaces to the terminal, which causes problems (LaTeX barfs) if you're running this within an Sweave() job. Setting RFparameters(pch="") fixes the problem. Could put this in the documentation, but I don't know where you could put it that it would attract attention -- wouldn't have occurred to me to look at RFparameters before poking through the code to see where the ^H was coming from.
I was going to suggest testing interactive() to see if the code was running in batch mode or not, but I just tried that with Sweave() and it thinks that interactive() is TRUE when running Sweave. Oh well. Any one else have a solution?
