For the BBEdit/TextWrangler users.

If you do not use it already, you may find the following Applescript  
helpful:

set selectedText to selection as string
tell application "R"
	activate
	cmd selectedText
end tell

It is very basic but it works. If you write some R code in BBEdit you  
can select some commands there, select the Applescript via the menu  
or a keyboard shortcut, and the commands are executed in the R console.

To create the script just open the script editor in BBEdit, copy the  
code into the editor, compile it, and save the script into '~/Library/ 
Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/'. You will find the script in the  
Applescript menu. You may want to set a keyboard shortcut (Window >  
Palettes > Scripts menu and then Set Key).
