Syntax coloring in R console

Dear Liviu,

thanks for the programming tip! However, I do all my editing in vim,
which has had syntax highlighting for quite a while, as well as
auto-completion and a number of other goodies. But while I do most of
my programing in vim, I do most of my scientific studies simply using
the R interface and keeping a manually edited "lab book" apart from
the scripts. Clearly, one can do as much with Rstudio -- I just don't
see any advantages, but I do see a disadvantage in my specific case:
all sub-windows are confined to the "desktop". In other words, having
multiple plots on one monitor and a terminal with R command line is
not possible.

A question, though. Given that I have projects assorted in various
directories, how can I start RStudio opening a project stored in
.RData and .Rhistory of a given directory? I.e., how can I make
RStudio open the current directory (like R does), and not $HOME?

Thanks nonetheless,

j.
