From within RGui, the "File" option (upper left menu) offers,
"Source R Code", "New Script", "Open Script", ... . I selected "Open
Script", then pasted your sample section into that window. Then I
highlighted the first three lines and selected Edit -> "Run line or
selection Ctrl+R". That caused the selected lines to be run without
the "paste" step.
Another options is to use ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics,
http://ess.r-project.org <http://ess.r-project.org/>). This has several
advantages including an editor that interprets a file opened with a .R
extension as R code and adjusts its display to help provide context
sensitive indents -- to make it easier to see when you have failed to
close a parentheses, coloring comment differently etc. If you use
Linux, you may already use Emacs. If so, you only need to learn ESS.
There's a separate email list for that.
Hope this helps.
