[R] stop() vs. error() ?

[James MacDonald]

And a closer examination of the help page would lead you to this:

options(show.error.messages=FALSE)
stop()

which is what I believe you want....

hi andy:  yes, I know what it does.  My suggestion would be to have a 
different command, that is a "pure stop" without error condition (with

its message).  A stop and an error are really two different things.
