1) Why make life difficult for yourself by not using ESS? You are running
R in non-interactive mode because that's the way NTEmacs does things with
a shell buffer. But people have been here before and we (the R
developers) provided a solution years ago.
There is a flag --ess that was added for this purpose (to work around the
issue in ESS), so look up what it does and make use of it.
3) R does not run under 'the DOS shell': I presume you mean cmd.exe, the
Windows 'command prompt'. The issue is pretty much independent of the
shell in use: it is the lack of ptys on Windows that makes NTEmacs
different from other platforms.

This works fine until I hit an R error -- pretty much any error --
when the process halts and returns to the shell:
Wrong number of arguments error:
> quote()
Error in quote(): 0 arguments passed....
Execution halted
Syntax error:

Error: unexpected ')' in ")"
Execution halted
The same thing happens in R.exe and Rterm.exe.
How do I get R to catch the error and let me continue?
Thanks,
