One might also suspect that Rterm does not realize that it is being run interactively. Will it halt on *all* syntax errors? (e.g. a line with a single left parenthesis). This doesn't really have anything to do with bash or the window manager, only whether R uses the readline interface (which it probably will not if it isn't interactive). Which sort of terminal window are you running from? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
