I think the `trick' is how text for parsing is sent to R, and the answer is via the command line, using C redirection (and ptys under Unix). I've already suggested that approach a week ago. This thread is getting very bitty, and I am still waiting for a clear statement of what it is that Jim is trying to achieve. It sounds as if using redirection (and the -ess flag under Windows) is what is required. -- Brian D.
