The following is how I set up the listings package usage for R. If you
have improvements to this please pass them along. -Frank
\usepackage{listings,relsize}
%Setup for listings package
\lstloadlanguages{R}
\lstset{language=R,basicstyle=\smaller[2],commentstyle=\rmfamily\smaller,
showstringspaces=false,%
xleftmargin=4ex,literate={<-}{{$\leftarrow$}}1 {~}{{$\sim$}}1}
\lstset{escapeinside={(*}{*)}} % for (*\ref{ }*) inside lstlistings (S
code)
