I'm trying to learn how to use R version 1.1.0 under Mandrake Linux version
6.1. Using R interactively, I get good results. However, when
I attempt to execute commands from a file (following the directions in
section 1.10 of An Introduction to R, version 1.10) my output disappears.
As a default or after a sink() command, I would expect to see output on
the console, but none appears. After a sink("record.lis") command,
I would expect to find the output in the record.lis file, but it is empty.
The commands in my input file (e.g., summary(fm)) produce output in interactive
mode, so I don't understand why no output appears in batch mode.
Any error in the input file produces an error message on the console.
But when I correct the error, there is still no visible output. Any
help would be appreciated.
