[R] Getting scan() -command to work during the program run

[Atte Tenkanen]

Hi Bert,

I tried using the function, but still the same problem. If there is 
something after the scan-line, scan does not let me to enter any input 
but the program just run forward like before.

I have OSX 10.9.5. and R 3.3.2.
