Is there any such thing as a program file in R?  That is, is it possible to
compile and save code for performing data management and analytic tasks for
a given project into a single/multiple file(s) (i.e., like a script file
(S-Plus), a do file (STATA), or a *.sas file (SAS))?

Any words of wisdom or a point in the direction of some documentation would
be helpful.  If it is not possible to work with such files I would not mind
some advice on how I should be thinking about organizing my work differently
in R compared to these other programs.  Typically, I provide relatively
thorough project documentation in my program files so that if someone else
inherits them they can pick-up on them quickly.

Thanks.
