... Another good (non-GUI) tool for the CLI is keyword completion. R in ESS does this, giving you lists of possible functions, variables and objects, or feedback if there isn't any. R's CLI completes, but only with filenames in the current directory.
That works only if R was compiled with readline. Thus it doesn't work that way on Windows, for example. Completion still works on Windows under ESS though. Andy
