Dwayne,

Perhaps you have seen http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/ , it has 
information on several possibilities.  It would be hard to pull me away 
from using Emacs with ESS (http://ess.r-project.org/), both on Windows 
and Linux.  I use Emacs for a lot of things now, but ESS was the gateway 
that helped me learn it.  The fact that there is always a version of 
Emacs on all the platforms I might be faced with helps a lot too.  I 
know nothing about Tinn-R, but my recollection is that people who use it 
seem to like it just fine.

Erik
