many thanks for the response.

Rstudio seems to be a very clever & robust tool and i suspect that if R 
can 
do it (ie send text output to its own window) then Rstudio would probably 
handle it.

Can it be done in 'vanilla' R   ?

        cheers          Bob

Re: [R] how to send text output to its own window






Sounds like a question for the RStudion people?
