Hey all,
I was wondering about the order of execution of functions and found that, in fact, I should look at the topic of buffering output to the console. Which I did - below are some links of related topics, in case anyone wants to read up on it. I decided to change the concerning lines in the file "Rconsole" in the "etc"-folder to ## Default setting for console buffering: 'yes' or 'no' buffered = no which works fine. Of course, when I send functions to someone else using a GUI console, I'll insert flush.console() at the important positions. My question is: should I expect serious computing time issues with this setting? As posted in [5], calling flush.console too often takes a lot of time...
