[R] Question on .Options$max.print

Hi,


I have a tiny question concerning .Options$max.print


I have to set up this value to a greater value than 10000 because I  
want to concatenate my output of a function to one single string (for  
connivence).

I did this via .Options$max.print <- 64000 or options(max.print=64000)

Then I call out <- paste(out, blabla) several times, but nchar(out)  
is never larger than 10000.

I read in the help about '.Options' that this is not yet used in base  
R. Could this be my problem?


Thanks for any hint

Hans

BTW I believe, there is a typo within the help page about '.Options'

...
The ‘factory-fresh’ default settings of some of these options are
...
max.print     1000
...


This should be
...
max.print     10000
...
