Summary: More terminal like console

Initial Comment:
R CONSOLE  
  
 Question: with the new command editor, what sould be  
 the R Console windos? Many people/scientist use R in  
 console and find usefull coding inside a terminal window.  
 S-Plus erroneous was wrong about it in the past and we  
 need to avoid this way: a user-friendly interface is a  
 "flexible" interface that could be easy but not stupid, that  
 suggest a simple way to do things but offer "other" ways  
 for geeks.  
  
 IMHO, the R Console sould be a classical terminal  
 window with R command line. A user will code inside this  
 terminal with our loaded workspace and without any  
 "Run" or "Reset" buttons. This capability port us to some  
 problems: when a user run commands, we need a  
 sub-layer that control what happen (eg. removing an  
 object in the workspace with "rm(my.data)" sould update  
 the "Workspace" window (ex-Objects Browser)  
 and close the data.frame window in Main). This kind of  
 control is a must.  
  
 An expert-user without classical R console could open  
 rkward and an external xterm+R console to work on the  
 same workspace. RKWard need to lock activities  
 on the workspace area and address the use of rkward::R  
 console instead.  
  
 Schema:  
  rkward -> load workspace and lock activities on it  
  rkward-RConsole -> any code will be passed to a control  
 layer.
