[Rd] Socks under R

[Rainer M. Krug]

Hi

when I use

con1 <- socketConnection(...)

in R and want to send text from another application written in Delphi to 
R, do I just have to send the text or do I have to implement more 
control characters and so on?
Is

con1 <- socketConnection(port=6011, server=TRUE)
writeLines("plot(rnorm(100))", con1)

just sending the text in "plot(rnorm(100))" to the socket or is it doing 
more (R specific protocoll for socks comminication)?

Thanks,

Rainer
