Hi, Many thanks to Wacek Kusnierczyk and Ted Harding.
I learned 3 new tricks. (Not bad for a newbie?) $ R --silent --no-save < barebone.R $ R --quiet --no-save < barebone.R $ R --slave < barebone.R With slight differences, they all do what I wanted. Moving right along my tiny agenda... Given the same one-liner, cat ('Hello World!\n') would someone please show me how to turn this one liner into a web page with Rpad? Obviously, What I want to build is a web page, where it say "click <here>" and when it is clicked the screen blanks out and give a line: Hello World! I have looked at an example or two of Rpad, but it was overly complicated for simpleminded newbie.

I had to browse 'man R' a bit before getting a hint. R --silent --nosave < barebone.R should do it!
