<quote> 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.

Well for one thing you turkey, OS X will not under normal circumstances open two instances of a given app. Don't be Windows-centric.

And as Gabor said, why post bad code in the first place? rm(list=ls()) is practically a cliche precisely because it's nuclear and should never be used anywhere.

Typical code listed in package help files may end with unlink([stuff]), which makes far better sense than, e.g. unlink(*.*) .
