Hi Jim, Thanks for your suggestion. It is working now. The earlier message " recover called non-interactively; > frames dumped, use debugger() to view" happened within a R-IDE but doesn't occur in a R console.

Here is what I get in running under Windows: > x <- function() xyz() # non-existent function > > > x() # caa the function Error in x() : could not find function "xyz" <== error message Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit 1: x() <== traceback Selection: 0 > On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 7:52 PM, Hao Cen <h...@andrew.cmu.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder how to have R automatically print stack trace produced by > traceback upon errors during interactive uses.
