[Rd] Strange "no-echo" in place of "slave"

[peter dalgaard]

The first of Suharno's examples can be viewed that way, because R under ESS is not a "slave" in the technical sense, just a situation where you do not want keyboard input to be echoed. "Non-echoing" might have been better language though.

The 2nd example really is of the master/slave variety, and to my knowledge nothing to do with echoing, so looks like a search-and-replace oversight. Presumably, "worker thread" (or thereabouts) would be a better replacement.
