As Petr explains below (and Brian Ripley), you *really* should use different means here --- but I think this is the first time that the relatively new option 'max.print' has "hit R-help", hence one other hint, maybe useful to the public: Note that the 'max.print' option was introduced exactly for the purpose of **protecting** the inadvertent user from a flood of output spilling into his console/gui/.. (and apparently locking up R completely, we have even seen crashes when people wanted to print dataframes/matrices/arrays with millions of entries). So, given the above message (yes, not an error), why did you not try to read help(getOption) and look for the word 'max.print' there ? --> if you really really don't want to follow the advice of Brian and Petr, then say something like options(max.print = 1e6) Martin Maechler, ETH Zurich >> For example if I have a data.frame with 4000 rows and 200 >> columns I would like to be able to use scroll bars in >> Rconsole to investigate the whole data.frame.
