You can create a split screen of this sort with the Emacs or Xemacs editor 
along with the ESS package (although the commands will appear interspersed 
with the output as well as in an editor window -- which seems desirable). 
See <http://www.analytics.washington.edu/Zope/wikis/ess/> for information 
on ESS. I have some information for Windows users at 
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ESS/index.html>. 
You could also use an independent editor for commands, such as WinEdt under 
Windows (see the section on editing support in 
<http://cran.r-project.org/other-software.html>).

I hope that this helps,
  John
