GNUplot to R conversion?

Hi,

I have some scripts creating GNUplot graphs that I would like to
convert to R.  It would be a great help if there would be a
reasonable converter that takes over plot commands and initial
settings and put these into R commands (I'm an R beginner and
thus this kind of Kickstart would be helpful).

Remark: Asking Google for "gnuplot to R conversion" or similar things
does not really help because seeking for 'R' seems to be a hard task
for search engines.  Is there any trick to find R-related things
easily?

Kind regards

          Andreas.

Not that I know. But I doubt that someone would make this effort since the 
capabilities of gnuplot and R are quite different.

If you look at
http://www.r-project.org/search.html
you find links to different help sources.
I have a preference for rseek but just compare...
