Suggestion: Allow student to try other things while in lesson

[BSWolfset]

I have done a few lessons on swirl and maybe it's the programmer in me, but sometimes I want to try a few other commands while I am in the middle of a lesson. I can type them in, and R will respond correctly, but then I get a message from swirl asking me to try again. I was wondering if there could be a way to run additional commands without having to exit swirl and then come back in.

Also, as an aside, there should be a FAQ regarding installing multiple courses in swirl at the same time - I tried it and it works but nothing indicated that in any of the documentation.

Hi @BSWolfset,

This is possible by using the play() function to pause swirl and then you can use the nxt() function to resume swirl.

In the next version of swirl the function for installing courses will allow you to install multiple courses at once.
