Hi

I sometimes want to see an object / dataframe (lets call it x) in R and, only after issuing the
command to print it(> x), that it x is a HUGE dataframe and it takes literally minutes to print. I
am not able to interrupt the printing with Ctrl-c as I used to be, as the cursor is in the middle
of the screen and not at the end of the output. Interrupting via the menu also does not work ("No
command on this line"). The only thing I can do is either wait or kill R

Is it possible to make sure that the cursor stays at the end of the output, so that I can
interrupt the printing?
Thanks,

Rainer
