Michael:

There's a keyboard shortcut for that:

1. Highlight your multi-line command in the editor;

2. Use [Ctrl-Shift-Alt-C] instead of [Ctrl-C];

3. Paste at the R> Prompt with [Ctrl-V].

You will NOT be disappointed with the functionality of R:BASE in Windows.

Micheal,

Type your multi line command in R> prompt and let it warp itself, do not use '+' sign to tell the interpreter / compiler that it is a multi line command, just press 'enter' at the end of command to execute it.

Secondly, eliminate '+' sign from ur multi line command in R> prompt, pasted from a command file, it will work.

My first post to this group. Newbie to Rbase X 32bit from the cozy DOS world, but I have a question about the most basic functionality (or lack).

How does one cut & paste a multi-line command to the R> prompt to test the command (or execute it one-off)? I can paste the command, but every command I've tried throws an error. And then command history corrupts the formatting of the pasted command on recall.

I first found this copying some help screen examples. But even using something a simple as

Show      +
Variables

results in a spurious error (sometimes Invalid parameter, usually syntax error).

And this type of mess when recalled from history: Show      +Variables

I've seen that syntax executed in a command file works fine, but when the identical syntax is pasted, it does not work with the errors noted above.

Testing at the R> is an essential function. But does it work? How?

Thanks for any help.
