Hi Lothar,

What do you mean by "interrupt" - cancel completely and
return to the prompt? Or pause, then resume? Your operating
system would be helpful too.

If the former, try Esc on Windows or Ctrl-C on Linux.
If the latter, Ctrl-Z will send your R session to the background
on Linux, and fg will bring it back. I don't think there's a
Windows equivalent.
