[R] ESS+R not closing gracefully

[John Fox]

Dear Tony and Damon,

I, too, have seen this problem (and other similar problems) occasionally. I 
don't really understand the source of the problem, but I think that it 
involves synchronization issues, and I find that inserting delays between 
operations seems to help. Take a look, for example, at the configuration 
files I've posted at 
<http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ESS/>, in particular 
the menu items for exiting. Finally, I find that problems are less common 
with Windows 2000 than with Windows 9x, but I gather this isn't your 
experience.

I hope that this helps,
  John
