R --slave does get rid of the ">" in front, so that could be helpful.  
But my problem is with keeping an interactive connection with R. I am  
trying to do it in Ruby using popen, but the problem that I have is  
that the input and output pipes don't really work simultaneously.  
I.e. I'd like to be able to write a single line to input, then read  
all the output, then send another line etc. The regular pipes in Ruby  
don't seem to be able to do that, and I really don't have the time  
right now to figure out another way.
