Thanks David. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was beginning to
wonder if I had really lost it.

I faced the same problem and it took me some time to spot the origin:
I have no clue where it can come from!( I suspect this happened when I
moved from 1.9.0 to 2.0.0, OS X 1.3...). I know that the built in R
editor is very handy: what I do is a "more myfile.r" on the terminal
to check if there are weird characters and then delete then directly
with the R editor. Not very efficient I reckon: OS X gurus may have
another solution!

I've recently upgraded to R-2.0.1 on a Mac running OS X 10.3+
I am using the new Cocoa-based GUI. Everything was working well for
a while. In the middle of an R session, I started "suddenly" to have
a problem where code copied from an open editor window and pasted
into the R Console gives a syntax error. It doesn't matter what the
code is. If the same exact text is typed into the console directly,
I get no errors.
I tried quitting the R session and restarting. The problem did not
go away.
I tried using a different editor, instead of the built-in editor.
After opening the file with my R code in it in AlphaX instead of the
built-in editor, I could see that the text typed most recently ( ie,
since the problem started) had a character that looked like an open
square or box at the start of most lines. I deleted these and can't
see any other extraneous symbols in AlphaX. However, I still get
syntax errors when trying to paste code that was originally typed in
using the built-in editor. If I retype the same thing in the same
file using AlphaX, one line below the original, then copy and paste
into the R console, it executes without generating syntax errors.
So, it looks like something odd is going on with the built-in editor?
