Hello list.
I'm using R from the gnome-terminal in Fedora. My preference is to write
programs in VIM, and then source the file from R, or copy and paste the
lines into the console. I'm wondering if there is a way to increase the
"paste buffer" as an alternative to "sourcing" large analyses. As was
mentioned in a recent thread on Linux GUI's, I find that if I paste in a
large amount of text, the lines end up getting cut off at some point. I
wonder if this is an R restriction, because it seems like I am able to
paste substantially more text in other console-based programs. Is there
any way to increase the amount of text that I can paste into an R
session?
Thanks!

Manuel,
Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "lines end up getting cut off at
some point" so correct me if I got it wrong, but I assume you mean that
after a certain number of lines entered you can no longer scroll back up
and view the earlier lines?
If this is the case, then, and again I assume you are using Gnome
(default in FC) as the desktop system, then open a terminal. The Edit >
Current Profile in the menu bar for the terminal. Select the Scrolling
Tab. Alter Scrollback lines and kilobytes accordingly to suit. You only
need to do one, not both - I find it easier to think in numbers of
lines so I changed that. You'll have to modify this if you use KDE or
another window manager with FC3.
