Hi,

I have a tktoplevel window and in it a tkbutton:

AUS<- function()
{
        foo(parameters);
}
AUSButton.but<- tkbutton(tt,text="OK",command=AUS)

The function foo(...) does a time-consuming calculation, and during this 
calculation there is printed some progress information to the console.

My problem: When I click the button "OK", the tktoplevel window and the R 
console don't react anymore, and there is nothing printed to the console until the 
calculation is finished (then all informations are printed out in one step).
If I simply execute foo(...) in the console, the progress information is 
printed out step by step, as I want.

Is there a possibility to change the call of foo(...) in this way that R and 
the window don't stop responding?

The flush.console() function will cause R to display pending text if you're 
running in the GUI.

Thank you for your reply!
I tried it and put  flush.console() after each print(...), but again nothing happend 
until the calculation was finished. I don't think the problem is the "output 
procedure".
It looks as if R would crash when I click on the button "OK" (but it does'nt 
crash, it is only calculating and doesn't response until it is ready).
So I think the function foo(...) has to be called in another way (?)

I think you'll need to post a complete example to illustrate the problem. I'd suggest posting it to the R-sig-mac list, since it seems to be a problem specific to that platform.
