Hello all: 
I'm trying to use the following code to get commands, comments and results to a 
.txt file.  It only appears to capture comments. When I comment those out with 
#, it creates a NULL file.  
Someone seemed to have a similar problem with a mac GUI 
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-September/253177.html) but the 
result seemed to be ambiguous. Is there a work-around? Reproducible code and 
sessioninfo are below.   The OS is Mac OS 10.6.8.

Yours truly, Simon Kiss

install.packages("HSAUR")
library(HSAUR)
library(TeachingDemos)
data("Forbes2000", package="HSAUR")
#This is a test of R output for the blind
txtStart('test.txt', commands=TRUE, results=TRUE)
txtComment('This command provides the mean profit in the data set')
mean(Forbes2000$profits, na.rm=TRUE)
txtComment('This command provides the standard deviation of the profits data 
set')
sd(Forbes2000$profits, na.rm=TRUE)
txtComment('This command provides the average profit by country')
aggregate(Forbes2000$profits, by=list(Forbes2000$country), function(x) mean(x, 
na.rm=TRUE))
txtStop()
