Hi, Richard and Duncan:
Thank you both very much. You provided different but workable
solutions.
1. With Rgui 2.11.1 on Vista x64, the escape worked, but
neither ctrl-c nor ctrl-C worked for me.
2. The TCLTK version works but seems to require either
more skill from the programmer or more user training than using escape
under Rgui or ctrl-g/c under Emacs.
Best Wishes,
Spencer

How can one interrupt the following gracefully:

Sys.sleep(1)

In R2.11.1 under Emacs+ESS, some sequence of ctrl-g, ctrl-c
eventually worked for me. Under Rgui 2.11.1, the only way I've found
was to kill R.
Suggestions on something more graceful?
This is an Emacs+ESS bug. In the Windows GUI or using Rterm, the
standard methods (ESC or Ctrl-C resp.) work fine.

Beyond this, what would you suggest to update a real-time
report when new data arrives in a certain directory? A
generalization of the above works, but I'd like something more graceful.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
