Hans,

I THINK that  what  Haris meant was that you may have the WORKSPACE   
from the different running  R sessions getting mixed up..  Whereby   
potentially some variables are being created by one session  and  
wrongly evaluated  by another session that thinks they are part of  
that session.  I for one am one of those that  frequently runs  3  
instances of   R all from TM - sometimes (almost) simultaneously:  
the  R version;  the Sweave version; and the Console version (this  
more for the simple one off  calculations say as I work in my latex/ 
Sweave document - infact, at times the calculation has nothing to do  
with the work - but someone calls while I am in the middle of work &  
presents a set of figures - eg a debt that I quickly need to work  
out).  So I would care that the potential mess up that Haris mentions  
does not occur  because of something lying around/defined  in the  
workspace by one or the other of these different environments.
And yes, I know that I can use the maths bundle for some calculation,  
but I for one feel comfortable using R even for these since I can  
save the variables eg if I am doing sample size calculations.
