[R-SIG-Mac] Re: [R] R version 1.9.1

[Simon Urbanek]

FWIW: you can run multiple instances of R.app in the same way RAqua  
used to run multiple instances: using a shell script. The easiest way  
is something like:
cat > /Desktop/R.command
/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R
[press Ctrl+D]

Now you can double-click the R.command icon on your desktop and it  
will spawn new instance of R.app every time you do so. (We don't test  
this setup, so your mileage may vary).

Cheers,
Simon
