It's hard to tell exactly what you mean, but I'm going to go out on a limb
and guess that you're referring to the fact that S-PLUS for Windows delays
printing the results of a function until all the output is available.

This feature is called "output buffering", and means that when a function
generates a LOT of output (pages and pages of output), it gets displayed
faster than if S-PLUS printed the output line by line.  The downside is that
"trickling" output is deferred until the function completes.

You can turn output buffering off with Options | General Settings | General |
Buffer output, and the keyboard shortcut to toggle it is Control-W.  Does
turning output buffering off solve your problem?

None of this is relevant to S-PLUS on Unix, so if you're using that I've
guessed wrong, and you'll have to provide more information.

Anyone know how to deal with the issue on whether S-Plus gives the result of
a too long output? Is there something in my options/settings  that I need to
change?

Thanks a bunch
