Hello List,
When i paste a large block of R code from an editor to the R command line
the execution of the code will often fail at some point because it is not
pasted as it was copied.

Hi Mark,
I have encountered this problem, and it may be due to the following:
Command lines entered at the console are limited to about 4095 bytes
(not characters).
It is not. That is a limit on line length.
It is a limitation of cut-and-paste. That has limits depending on
- the OS
- how it is done (e.g. X11, GNOME, OS X) ... most OSes have multiple
mechanisms, including Linux (which this was).
- where it is pasted from
- where it is pasted to.
We were told this was Linux: the most likely limitation is the terminal
into which this was pasted.
