[R-sig-Geo] any way to prompt users for information?

[Dan Putler]

Denis,

If you are trying to do this within the context of using PBSmapping,  
you might want to check out the PBSmodelling package as well since it  
includes facilities to write dialog boxes using simple text files.  
Plus, it is a Geo related package so it makes it appropriate for this  
list ;-).
