   As far as I know, you have to use one mode or the other.  I write the 
*.Rnw file in R mode (via RWinEdt).  I then Sweave the *.Rnw file and 
open the *.tex file it creates in LaTeX mode.  There is typically 
nothing I do with the *.tex file other than turning it into PDF (and I 
do this within WinEdt in LaTeX mode).  If anyone has a different 
approach they think is superior, I would like to hear about it too.
