Summary: rkward mishandles promises

Initial Comment:
To replicate this problem (using the versions of R and rkward in Debian unstable as of September 5, 2007), see the example for help(delayedAssign) . Specifically, doing the following in a plain R session

msg <- "old"
delayedAssign("x", msg)
msg <- "new!"
x

correctly outputs the word "new!" in the console. However, doing the same in rkward produces the word "old". 

Although many people do not use functions like delayedAssign(), this bug could potentially cause them to get the wrong results without them knowing.

Thanks,
Ben Goodrich
