Is there any way to configure R so that it will display a time stamp before the prompt “>”?

This will do it:

options(prompt=paste(Sys.time(),"> "))

I forget how to make it update though. I’ll try to check when I get a sec…

Ahh found it:

updatePrompt <- function(...) {options(prompt=paste(Sys.time(),"> ")); return(TRUE)}
addTaskCallback(updatePrompt)
