If the "R" you refer is the statistical environment, "GNU S", then you probably want to check Emacs (with ESS): you get an integrated environment where you can edit code, submit code pieces (lines, regions, buffers, functions, etc) to a running R process (which looks like another Emacs buffer), opening R help in another buffer (with the possibility of executing the example in the R process), clean up a transcript of an R session to keep only the code, etc, etc, etc. Moeover, you get a "smart" edition of Sweave (noweb literate programming), where emacs knows when you are in a LaTeX part and when you are in an R code chunck. Alternatively, in the Windoze world, you might want to check Tinn-R, which, regarding R, provides some similar functionality, and I think it is also very nice for Python, LaTeX, etc. HTH, R. -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Bioinformatics Unit Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO) http://ligarto.org/rdiaz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
