The sshc(10,100) was just some numbers I plucked out of nowhere. Your definition: sshc<-function(rc, nc=500, d=.5, method=3, alpha=0.05, power=0.8, + tol=0.01, tol1=.0001, tol2=.005, cc=c(.1,2), l.span=.5) actually probably only needs the first value, the other parameters will take the defaults. sshc(10) should minimally run. [[pedantic note I say probably because R code can look like this: foo = function(x){ if(missing(x)){x = 99} ... } which is the same as foo = function(x=99){...} - so just because there's no default in the function definition it doesn't mean you have to supply it. end pedantic note]] Not sure why you have to click 'stop' - it might be that there's a couple of 'while' loops in there which might not be terminating. There's what looks like some debugging calls to 'cat' commented out - if you uncomment them you'll see what's going on, but you might not see them as they happen in Windows since I dont think the output isn't normally flushed immediately. There's probably an option you can set or a flush function you can call....
