I think you can, because sys-admin at my former university did so some years ago.

AFAIK there is not a GUI in a sense of other statistical packages
directly ot of a box.

Not really. The incantation is "R --gui=tk" or "gnome" or "X11" but the two former are quite sketchy (proof of concept, really). The last one is the default, but not with menus etc., just windows for graphics. > 2. how do we do unix commands like cd ? Any shell command can be executed via system(). This is in a subshell, so of course cd has no effect on return: look up setwd() > 3. can we define default directories - eg for data files ? Not in any "standard" way AFAIK. There is a number of ways you could create your own convention (e.g. via environment variables), though. > 4. we want to use this mainly in batch mode once we get our act > together - are there any good examples of batch scripts we can use as > crib sheets. Depends on what you want to do. There are quite a few documents around with example code and several books have their scripts made public. > 5.
