Comments are already echoed, leading blank lines are not (but blanks in comments are). For example: > temp.ttt <- "ttt <- 1\n\n# comment\n\nttt" > cat(file="c:/temp/temp.R", temp.ttt) > source("c:/temp/temp.R", echo=TRUE) > ttt <- 1 > # comment > > ttt [1] 1 (I ran this in the patched version, but I believe the behaviour would be the same in the release as well.) I forget exactly why I chose to suppress leading blanks, but the workaround of commenting the first of them is so easy, I don't think it's worth the trouble to add an extra option.
