Re: [NMusers] System call from R causes loss of cursor control

Dave,

Have you tried using the minimized option for the R system command?
Or if that doesnt work you could try calling system with a command like
this: "start /min nonmembatch.bat"

See http://www.computerhope.com/starthlp.htm for details of the DOS
start command.

The problem with this is that every time the system call is executed, the dos window pops up and cursor control is taken from whatever else that I am working on - beyond annoying! I am using Windows. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
