I believe this is a function of the Mac console (I presume you are using the console, but you did not say). Please ask Mac-specific questions on R-sig-mac (or at the very least put `MacOS' in your subject line).

I believe that adding flush.console() after the cat() call works on Mac as it does on Windows. (If not, it is intended that it should in 2.1.0.)

[On Windows it is FAQ Q6.3.]

I was wondering if someone could help me!

Here is what I don't understand!
Why the text in the function isn't showing up before the locator action?

###########
plot(1:10)
toto<-function(){
cat("Why this text isn't showing up before the point selection !!!!!!!!")
point<-locator(2)
return(point)
}

toto()

P.S.: I am using the most recent version of R for mac
