Why not use an editor ? 

I would highly recommend Emacs in combination with Emacs Speaks
Statistics (ESS). Section 2.1 of [1] might help with the installation.

Otherwise you can try JGR [2] or others [3]. There is a R special
interest group for MAC users [4] that you can try.

Neither of those prevent you from sending incomplete lines do they?

In a tight spot, you can alway just generate a syntax error. The thing
is that you will typically have forgotten how to do that reliably.
Entering 

 $$ 

or 

 a b

is a good guess. The main exception is that you could be in the middle
of a text string, in which case you need a terminating quote first.

I'm using R for Mac Aqua version 2.1.1

If at the command line, I type:
ls(
and then a return, the command line prompt changes to
a plus sign indicating that the command has not been
completed.  How do I break, or kill, the partial
command?  Sometimes, I type a long command but miss a
bracket or parenthesis.  On a unix or linux version of
R, I can type ctrl-c.  On the Mac, ctrl-c,
command-(dot), and escape do not work.

Any solutions?
