No doubt by changing the Rterm_options you can alter the way in
which it produces output. Note that under *nix there is no
separate executable Rterm; it is just the binary executable r. When
you install R on Mac OS X, you get R.app, which is the executable
that provides the GUI, but under the hood it calls /usr/bin/r.
Thanks, Kit: that is useful information that I was not aware of.
Indeed, the help for R.app version 2.7.2 [1] suggests the following:
"To use R you probably need to add a symbolic link on your system as
the R binary is located inside the framework. Suppose you have the /
usr/local/bin directory on your system (if you do not have one, you
can use /usr/bin instead) you should just type in your Terminal (a
root password is required)
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/R /usr/
local/bin/R
Assuming that you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment
variable, you will be able to launch R from any location on your
system just by typing R."

routines that do not yet execute properly with version 2.8.0.
