OK. I changed the code of tm_interactive_input for it and in principal  
it works perfectly ;)
It was really quite simple caused by the clean structured source code!

Now I have an other problem.

I call R spawned by using this
R < in_pipe > out.txt

Fine. But if R outputs a huge text chunk tm_interactive_input gives me  
a signal that R wants to read something, but there're still data in  
the pipe to out.txt. It takes time to flush the pipe out.txt to disk.

Is there a way to ask the pipe whether it finished writing?
