Please wrap your text to something like 80 character per line... Copy/paste works very well. Instead of copying from your R session over to a text editor, why don't you do it the other way round? i.e. type your R codes in your favourite editor, THEN copy/paste into R. That way you don't get any syntax error, and you have all your R codes saved into one file. There are several good tools. (X)Emacs/ESS is one of them (and it's the one I prefer). For beginners there is RWinEdt (a plugin, written by Uwe Ligges, for WinEdt). Both allows direct communication from the editor to R....
