JGR does exactly that
http://www.rforge.net/JGR/

It has separate input and output + you can open arbitrarily many  
editor windows where you can use <CMD><Enter> to execute selection etc.

Although you can do the same in R GUI, the GUI doesn't split input and  
output console - however, you can still execute lines/selection from  
the integrated editor window...
