Question about applescript commands

Dear all,


I would like to build a "remote control" for R to give basic instructions
pushing buttons or choosing menu items.

I'm going to use applescript commands and applescript studio.
I can't use the "Do Command" present in the R applescript dictionnary.

Can you explain me its use and its syntax ?

Thanks in advance

Romuald,

Attached 2 examples of how I've used AppleScript to source
a file into R or to send a selection (selected text) to R using
the 'cmd' feature.

The editor I'm using is SubEthaEdit, which also support
AppleScript - not needed in these examples, but as an
example, I use it to position the Edit window next to the
R Console. I also updated the syntax binding for R in
SubEthaEdit.

I use iKey to bind selection2R to say F12
and source2R to shift F12. I just like the simplicity of
SubEthaEdit. BBEdit has a script menu to achieve this.

Hope this helps,
Rob
