The syntax is wrong there:  that should be options(keep.source=F).  But 
I don't think it addresses either question.

The normal way to execute a script from the console is 
source("filename.R"), which by default doesn't echo.

I don't know the answer to Q2, but would guess that the answer is "yes"; 
just not sure if someone has already written the function to remove the 
commas.
