To meet this goal, I save the script in a text file and I use a text editor with sourcing facilities (e.g. WinEdt + R-WinEdt, Xemacs + ESS,...: see Software ==> Other section on CRAN).
See recent threads on this topic, e.g. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/07/0195.html

Considering replies to my question, typical practices of R users seem: 1. Creating a special function to source frequently used scripts. 2. Creating a personal package containing frequently used scripts.
Both of them needs additional steps to edit the function or to create/install the package when a script file is edited or added. My suggestion can save the effort. In the sense to make R more convenient environment to users, is it trivial?

In fact, there is an elegant solution, and that is to write a package. If this is all for personal use, then writing a package can be as simple as creating a few directories, copying the script files, and then running R CMD INSTALL. I do this all the time when I have multiple projects that use the same code.
