Good morning, all! 


I'm seeing some strange behavior with R's prompt in the R console. 


I'm running Mac OS X (10.8.2) on a MacBook Air. 


After assigning the first variable, R inserts that variable name multiple times before the prompt (>). It then remains but with a different number of repetitions for subsequent command submissions. I've tried to "reset" the prompt with options(prompt=">") but that doesn't appear to work. (See Below). 


Any thoughts? 


Many thanks and best regards! 


Jim
