Perhaps, true in some respects. I am still chiseling out work using

Well it sounds like you won't lose any work, but you will lose some
time. But why not open another session of R for R-help questions?
Then you're never in any danger. I often have four or five instances
of R running for different projects.
Not a bad idea but one that I thought was unfeasible with my use of an
R-GUI. I had considering keeping a session open on my laptop.
