If I understand your problem correctly, you have logged into a remote box and are using a "terminal" window at that point. If you enter the command R in that terminal, then you will be operating R via command lines in that same terminal. If you want a separate X window with R running in it, the usual procedure would be to open a new X window from you current command line. One possibility is simply to enter the command xterm & (the "&" is important -- it will "detach" the new window from the terminal ijn which you started it). Then you can switch to the new window and run R in that. Any graphics generated by R will cause a new X window to appear in which the graphics will be displayed. You can generate additional X windows for additional graphic (keeping what you have already) with X11(). If you're logging in via ssh, you may need to log in using the command ssh -X <host> or ssh -X <user>@<host> to ensure that the remote X client has permission to send its X requests to the machine you are sitting at.
