unix-type commandline keystrokes in the windows RGUI
Ah, I didn't realize Rterm existed (Start -> Run -> Rterm). It works with CTRL-R as you said. Thank you! Regards, Adai

Or download and unzip http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/bash/ 2) Make the directory to bash.exe and R.exe are in your PATH variable. 3) Start -> Run -> cmd 4) Start R.exe and now you should have your CTRL-R functionality (along with ls and other bash goodies). Yes, I know you asked about Rgui.exe and not R.exe. But this is the best I can do.
Er, I don't think you need bash nor cygwin for this, do you? It is not normal that the shell has any influence on programs that run under it. Plain Rterm in a console should do it, if and only if linked agaist libreadline, which I believe it is.
