On: R 2.8.1 / Ms Windows / R-Gui-R-console
I have a long-ish function, and to re-assure myself that it's actually making progress I've arranged a set of messages to the console (using cat). But what happens is that the messages don't actually display until the function has finished, which sort of negates the purpose. However, if I hit Return after starting the function, then all is well. I'm pretty sure that what's happening is that the function isn't yielding time to the operating system in order that messages be processed: so my question is, is there any way to do that within the function? Or maybe, to simulate the Return keystroke?
