by saving what you write in a script file---later on you may want to
put them in a package.

for syntax, typically .R

If you are new to R, you will benefit from carefully reading the
manuals:  http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

I would start with An Introduction to R, and then if you are
interested in writing your own package(s), the Writing R Extensions
manual.

Cheers,

Josh
