Subject: [Rd] comment causes browser() to exit (PR#9063)
Message-ID: <20060706233542.747E6508C6@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

I'm trying to step through some code using browser(),
executing one line at a time.
Unfortunately, whenever I execute a comment line, the browser exits.

I previously reported a similar problem with blank lines.

These problems are a strong incentive to write poor code 
-- uncommented code with no blank lines to improve readability --
so that I can use browser() without it exiting at inconvenient times.

Additional detail:  
(1) I'm running R inside emacs, with R in one buffer
and a file containing code in another, using a macro to copy and paste
a line at a time from the file to the R buffer.
(2) The browser() call is inside a function.  
Right now the lines I'm sending to the browser are not part of the function,
though usually they are.
