[Rd] R CMD BATCH on scripts without trailing newline
If the last line of an R script does not have a trailing newline, a small errror is produced at the end of the script. Small example. If file eg.r contains one line: getwd() and there is no newline after the closing paren $ R CMD BATCH eg.r produces an error: $ cat eg.r.Rout R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.1.1 Patched (2005-09-01), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 ... > getwd()proc.time() Error: syntax error Execution halted $ Is it worth changing the BATCH script so that it adds a newline before adding the call to proc.time()?

[Rd] suggestion for data.frame.Rd
Hi, a small suggestion - could data.frame.Rd mention 'subset'?

[Rd] dump.frames in call from debugger()
Hi,
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/utils/R/debugger.R
currently has the arg list of dump.frames as:
dump.frames <- function(dumpto = "last.dump", to.file = FALSE)
would it be sensible to change the default for to.file to be
to.file = !interactive()
So that last.dump.rda would be created if a script (such as below)
is run with "R CMD BATCH" when it hits the error.

[Rd] typo in R-lang.texi
Hi, R-lang.texi line 2020/1 currently says: This allows, e.g., a local variable in a function to have the same name AS a global object. The word "AS" is missing in that sentence.

[Rd] Clarification for options(OutDec)
The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a
'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem
to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character?
This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes.
> x <- '\u00B7'
> nchar(x)
[1] 1
> options(OutDec=x)
Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for 'OutDec'
I don't think I've changed anything with my LANG settings, but here it
is anyway:
