The thing is that functions don't really stop... they return. So what you want is return()

hi andy: yes, I know what it does. My suggestion would be to have a different command, that is a "pure stop" without error condition (with its message). A stop and an error are really two different things.

Please do read the documentation of the functions you are trying to use.
The description in ?stop says:

     'stop' stops execution of the current expression and executes an
     error action.

stop() is how error is flagged in R (and S in general). If that's not what
you want, try something else. And the `something else' depends on what you
want, which has not been described in detail.
