[R] Two Questions

[Greg Snow]

When running a large number of commands from a script that produces multiple plots it is often best to send the plots to the pdf device (or other system) that you can then page through after it is finished.  You could also specify par(ask=TRUE) then you would be prompted before changing the plot (but other code would not execute either).
