Saving whichever command anyone use in a file call *.command (i.e 
'Rterm.command' containing either 'R --no-save --no-restore' or 
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/R' or any other choice) and doing it 
executable (chmod +x Rterm.command) allows to run it like any other app with 
double click.
*.command could contain any bash script.
