Not yet! If you look back in the recent R-help archives you will see
a report on future plans for R for Windows.

You did something to make the window close, for example had EOF in the
script. If my guess is right, don't do that. Two ideas:
(1) call locator(1) at the point you want a wait. Then the user has to
click on the graph to continue.
(2) run R at the end of a pipe. Then you can send EOF when you are done
with R, or dev.off() when you are done with the graphics window. I have
no idea if Delphi supports pipes correctly. The --ess flag in R is
designed to simplify its use at the end of a pipe from NTemacs.
