There has been a solution to this problem for a longer time than
R exists:
ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistitics, called "S-mode" in
those days, and used for S and then S-plus).
You work with an (or several) *R* buffer with the whole log
that you (can edit even during use and) save at the end as,
e.g. sess.Rout
{using *.Rout will make emacs/ESS use the ESS-transcript mode
when opening that file later; in ESS-transcript mode, you can
again send the (old) input lines to a running R process, by
simple <Enter>.}
Probably for that reason, nobody of us (developers) has ever
felt enough need for an alternative to implement another one
(platform independently!).
