Hi, I would like to see a way to force R to be in interactive mode with a flag. So that the default behavior of being in interactive mode if the input is from a keybord can be overridden.
Something like: R --interactive R --no-interactive octave has a flag like this and it words nicely for what I need (input from named pipe). Anyway, the fix is just a simple change to src/unix/system.c I can write a patch if you would like. I think something like this already exists in the windows wrapper (--ess). Also, what is up with the bug tracker? Things in there seem to be from 2000-2003 and a couple days after filing a bug I still don't see it. Is it being used? And if not, it should probably be disabled, so people don't waste their time posting to the wrong place.
