Thanks Chuck for setting this through.

I've never been happy at how Babel arranged the inter process communication 
with R  including the need for cleaning up the output with scary regular 
expressions like this.

Also there are some of uses of temp files that sometime cause of bugs 
especially when running R under tramp on a remote host. I'll be sure to report 
it next time I see it.

I've wondered if there is not a better way for Babel to share an interactive 
session with the user.   For instance, if we wanted to support a new form of 
results processing on addition to value and output.... Namely, "transcript", 
wherein the results of evaluating a source block would be a transcript of the 
season with statements interwoven with their respective outputs.... I suspect 
that this would not be easy extension of the current approach since it would 
require parsing the source into statements that get evaluated sequentially with 
visible results echoed into the transcript.

But I digress.....

Thanks again for running with my workaround....
