[Going through some old and from what I see unanswered messages]
R can or cannot response immediately depending on the underlying C sources. If the underlying source code is written carefully enough, there are more or less regular checks for events such as this one. If you are using some contributed package, it may be an issue in this package's source code.

Occasionally, I start a command (taking long time to finish) that I did not really want to start. I type 'ctrl+C' to try to quit the execution. However, R does not quit the execution of the command immediately. I'm wondering if R could response to ctrl+C immediately. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
