to switch back to R highlighting once, on an individual script, use Edit-
>Tools Move->Highlighting->Scripts->R Script. One quick and dirty way to avoid 
the highlight-switching, would be to save the file with .R/.r extension.

To make the editor use R highlighting for .Rtex files, open any script window, 
select Settings->Configure Editor->Open / Save->Modes & Filetypes. There you 
can add a new Filetype for the extension .Rtex, and set it to use R 
highlighting (make sure to also set a priority of at least 20).

No, unfortunately, this is not possible, ATM. Could you add a request to make 
this configurable to our feature req	uest tracker 
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=50231&atid=459010)?
