That's very helpful, for two reasons.

1.  Maybe Notepad++ can replace Rgui as an environment for you to work 
in, since it claims to support R.  I've never used it, so I don't know 
exactly what level of support is offered, but maybe it's enough for your 
needs at least in the short term.

2.  Others who may be planning to fix Rgui can see how it handles input 
coming from dasher, and get Rgui to do the same thing.
