Hello S-users,

yesterday afternoon before leaving for the day I started a scipt which ran
several functions, each one taking roughly an hour to run, the first four
ran successfully, a lot of output to the screen testify that, the last one
bombed.  All the functions were assigning their results to a different
object.  None of those objects exist this morning.  Must I understand that
those objects would be committed only when the whole script runs
successfully?  If so it's a serious flaw, in my opinion anyway.  In my view
scripts are not functions, they are just a convenience to run several
functions, or maybe the same function with different inputs, at times when
the machine is not busy doing something else.  I don't see the point if
results are not committed until the script completes successfully???

Thanks for the insights,

A very frustated S+ user,
