[R] Using an external editor to write functions

[plorch@zoo.utoronto.ca]

I am having trouble getting a new version of Alphatk to send commands to 
R.  I have filed a bug report with the Alpha guys about that.

In the meantime, and for those not using Alpha and not wanting to us 
fix() or edit(), what is the best way to import the text of the function 
after modifying it so that it can be run in R (carbon GUI version 1.5.1 
on OS X 10.1.5)?  I have been typing
	name<-
and then pasting the function from the clipboard.  I seem to remember a 
more elegant way to do this, but ...
	Thanks,
	 -Pat
