Well, what is the structure of shweights object? I have not find any 
shadowing_weights function so it is hard to tell what it does and how the 
object looks like.

In case something takes a longer time then expected (usually nonsense 
commands issued by myself) I hit stop current computation or stop all 
computations on command window menu.

***I*** usually have problems with simple tasks, not R. It is always 
quicker than myself and if anything goes wrong it is 99.99% my fault.
