Guys, thanks very much for your help. Rscript looks great and I'll look forward to it.
The /usr/bin/env thing seems to be a general difficulty with the mechanism. One's first thought has to be to modify env to parse and then pass the arguments in the expected way (maybe #!/usr/bin/env2?), and of course one's second is that this must already have been done... An S of TFW produces 'Citizens for a better env', but this isn't as hopeful as it sounds. I'm actually tempted to use #!/usr/bin/env r rm(list=ls()) as the first two lines of every script, rather than messing about trying to pass options.
