Colleagues

Here is an outline of a perceived problem:

Using R with the ESS front end on a PC (see specs below):

I had returned a large object (about 15,000 rows, 3 columns) from a 
function and it was scrolling on the screen. I tried to interrupt the scrolling 
using the menu Signals/ Break. The result was a sreen lockup of both the 
emacs ESS windows and the R graphics window. The problem is 
repeatable on my system.

Any suggestions about how to avoid such a lockup (apart from simply not 
doing this sort of scrolling to the screen)?

----------------------------------
System info:
R version rw1020 on NT
ESS using emacs ver. 20.4

----------------------------------

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sam
