this is certainly the goal that we've made the least progress on so far, so 
indeed some help on that would be a good thing to cover up for the 
deficiencies of the app itself.

I have not looked at your questions, in details, yet. One thing I'd propose 
right now, is to split this information into a page of its own, perhaps 
titled "Using RKWard output" (suggested page id: "rkward_output", and linking 
to that (also from "RKWard for R users"). This should give us more room to 
detail various tips and tricks and issues without making the other pages too 
complex (further/future topics on that page might include how to put results 
in the output from the console, a reminder to flush the output once in a 
while, how to back it up, properly, etc.).

Regards
Thomas
