I very often crash splus when trying to copy text from the script window and
then trying to paste into the commands window. The crash appears to happen
when I select text and then start to drag the text to the commands window.

Thank you, Bill (and Chuck Taylor). I probably had an appropriate default
in.format that I was unaware of, which the crash event messed up (previously
I never needed to specify the in.format). Apologies for fast scrolling in
the class.timeDate help screen, I completely missed the existence of
separate in and out formats, used out for both.
I'm hoping this puts me back on track without having to re-install S.
Still interested in knowing if anyone has encountered the problem of S
crashing if R is started first.

In Splus I don't think %a and %b mean anything in an in.format for
timeDate(). They are meaningful as output formats. For in.format use
%3c to skip the 3 character day-of-the-week name and %m to capture the
month:
