I'm used to using ctrl-c to end operations without killing R. But I've used xlsx in this session, which loads Java, which apparently intercepts the ctrl-C. Accordingly, I hit ctrl-C, R died, and I lost a lot of work.
I did some looking, and found a thread(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.rosuda.devel/1368) that says: "Yes, at least on Sun JVMs you need to add -Xrs java option so the JVM doesn't steal SIGINT from R (see archives)." So, how do I actually do that? I'm not running java from the command line, I'm using "library(xlsx)". How do I tell R to pass that option to the JVM?
