It works if you run it line by line. However, if you copy and paste all 
following six lines into R:
 
windows()          
bringToTop(-1)
interactive()
run <- readline(prompt = "Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2):")      
dummy <- 1
run
 
 
it does not allow user input (e.g. it does not prompt you "Continue (Yes = 1, 
No = 2):").
