[R-SIG-Mac] copy/paste problems

[Christoph Hofer]

The X11 application shows the same behavior as the Terminal  
application does, which means i can only paste a limited number os rows.
I also tried to copy the code in different editors with the same  
results. I only can paste a certain number of rows of the R code.

Regards

Christoph
