Some versions of R support the -e option on the command line to execute a particular command. It's not always easy to work out the escapes so your shell passes all the quotes through... An alternative is to echo the command into the shell, e.g.echo 'cat("hello")' | R --slave (where the outer ' ' are just for bash). Duncan Murdoch
