Sorry I phrased that badly.
What I'm trying to do is asynchronously add data to R, i.e. a program will periodically dump some readings to the Rserver and then later on another program will run some analysis scripts on them.
I have managed to add the data via CMD_detachedVoidEval as you suggested. 
How exactly do I go about attaching to the session again? I know it involves some form of session key that comes back from the detach call, but what from does it take? And how do I use this? 
Thanks AgainMartin
