simply arrow around as usual (there's no need to use the Jaws cursor), and use the standard Emacs selection and copy commands. This is another reason why I'm such a fan of the Emacs environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have a batch file called “MyScript.bat” in the current working directory. If you click on that file in the file browser (Windows explorer for example) then the script will be processed in a clean R session and the output file MyScript.Rout will be created.
