Well, I am going to give copies of an application to different offices and want to be able to generate an output file
in the event that an error would ocurr while running the different R routines. By saving the entire R console along with the
R version, I should be able to see where the error ocurred. I've seen text files with every single text from the R console but can't find
the way to capture that.

>As a workaround, you could copy manually the R statements "R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)--- 
>Type 'q()' to quit R." and then use txtStart()..txtStop().  Would it work?  The reason I am saying is that with 1000s of lines of code, this will be still easier.

>>Hi,
