This is already fixed. If one installed CarbonEL one can use quartz().

Good question. For me, it's quite handy because I use the R console  
as text document AND R console, but I guess everyone can change this  
easliy.

I guess this I only can do with TMTOOLS.
I bind the key ARROW-UP/DOWN to tmcommand; it will detect whether  
there's a \n or not; if not then invoke the history stuff; BUT now it  
comes the big question how to send the key event MoveUp/Down to TM if  
there's a \n ?? Any ideas?
