Sounds cool, I'll check it out!

I run R within Aquamacs (a Cocoa version of Emacs). By invoking a shell (M-x 
shell), then ssh -Y me@servername I can start R on my server and send lines of 
R code across after "M-x ess-remote". New graphs open in a X11 window. I plot 
final versions to pdf and rsync these back to my mac. This way I can have all 
my scripts locally and enjoy the benefits of Aquamacs. 

For jobs that take hours to run I rsync scripts and data to the server and 
execute with nohup. 

HTH,
Martin
