That is quite sad.

I even got far enough as to get R to execute a command and stay 
interactive with

C:\...\bin>echo print(interactive()) | R --ess --slave
[1] TRUE

So, in the same way I could also start sourcing an arbitrary .R-file 
right from the command line.

However, R still terminates the session after running the command piped 
  to it.

Do I really have to launch R and then manually type s-o-u-r-c-e- etc. in 
order to start my programs?
