- _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:
-
- This function allows user to set and examine a variety
- of global ``options'' which affect the way in which R
- computes and displays its results. digits controls the
- number of digits to print when printing numeric values.
- It is a suggestion only. expressions sets a limit on
- the number of nested expressions that will be
- evaluated. This is especially important on the Macin-
- tosh since stack overflow is likely if this is set too
- high.
-
- width controls the number of characters on a line. You
- may want to change this if you resize the window that R
- is running in. prompt must be a quoted string. The
- expression inside the quotes will be used for the
- prompt. continuation must be a quoted string. It sets
- the prompt used for lines which continue over one line.
- editor sets the default text editor. Invoking options
- returns a list with the current values of the options
- stored in it.
