[TxMt] problem with R interaction [was math bundle feature request]

[Christof Janssen]

Hello,

My first enthusiasm got an immediate stopper. After switching the  
language environment to English and installing the newest version of  
R (2.40), I was able to calculate 100^2 using the R bundle command R  
 > Console > Execute Selection. Here is the result:
100^2
[1] 0
 >

Now, I wanted to do the following calculation 1/1e-1 and thats the  
answer:
1/1e-1
Fehler: syntax error
 >

Of course the same calculation leads to the correct result when done  
in the R console. Does anybody on this list have an idea what  
happened here? - Obviously I have not entirely got rid of the German  
localization in R. But is this likely the problem? Now it appears to  
be an error message generated by R rather than by AppleScript or  
whatsoever. I am lost.

May be, I need to trash R entirely, which I thought I had. Or is  
there an alternative way to go (without R). Which bundle should I  
look up if I wanted to write my own bundle for doing very simple math  
(I don't know anything about ruby etc)?
