I believe by default the code being source()'ed in is not echoed to the
console, unless echo=TRUE or options("verbose")=TRUE.  Isn't that the case?


What does F10 do in S-PLUS?  This is an R list, and not everyone here has
access to S-PLUS.  (I have S-PLUS, but couldn't find what F10 does.)

R does have its own search site: http://search.r-project.org, accessible
through RSiteSearch() in R-2.1.0-to-be...
