[R] Sourcing my file does not print command outputs

[John Kane]

From ?source
"Note that running code via source differs in a few respects from entering it at the R command line. Since expressions are not executed at the top level, auto-printing is not done. So you will need to include explicit print calls for things you want to be printed"
