Jacob, As Steven mentioned, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a list specific for OSX only questions.
I think you can achieve something similar by going into the preference settings of R.app, select the Startup section and select 'Source input file', de-select 'Always apply' and make the R history file something like 'Rhistory', no fixed path. You can up the number of history entries, although with R.app's multiline history and with 'Cleanup history entries' and ' Remove duplicate entries in history' selected, 250 in a GUI is in many cases a lot. In Finder, double-click an .R file you want to work on (or drag its icon onto the R icon in the Dock), R will open in the dir of the file and read the correct history file. It will open the double-clicked or dragged file in either the internal or external editor, whichever one is selected. I do not think you can, without some further steps, run multiple R.apps at the same time. Let me know if that is critical for you.
