R help - Oct 2003 - R windows development environment via Novel Application Launcher

Hello List,

I'm preparing to teach a class on statistical computing, which will include
a component where students develop an R package.  Has anybody tried putting the
R windows requirements together and providing them in a Novel Application
Launcher environment?

We're currently providing R on its own in such an environment, with some
problems still remaining with our implementation.  So, I'm interested in
hearing from anyone with experience using the NAL for serving R to a windows
lab.

Thanks in advance,
Robert King,
