[R] str() on a data frame with 600 variables

[Greg Snow]

An alternative that you may find interesting is the TkListView function in the TeachingDemos package.  This opens a separate window and shows the list structure there with options for scrolling and expanding/collapsing sublists.  You will probably need to be a little patient while the display builds for a list of that size.
