this is a simple session which should work to create a new script file,
typing some commands, opening R and run the whole content from the
buffer in R. Please note that there might be a message like Cannot read
history file /your/file/path
"C" refers to the CTRL key and "M" to the Meta key (-> ALT)
C-x C-f myscript.r
rnorm(100)
C-x 2
C-x o
M-x R
C-x o
C-c M-b
I hope this helps you further,
Roland
