Well, that's not R-specific, but what I do is to use "screen", which is
a handy little program that emulates multiple screens in one console.

So you start "screen", fire up R, work with it as usual; then with
Ctrl-a-d you can detach from the screen and do whatever you want
before reattaching with "screen -r".

More info with "man screen". :)

Best,
Marc
