R help - Apr 2005 - R in Windows

Has anyone tried to create dialog boxes for Windows in R so that one
doesn't have to type in so much information but rather enter it in a
menu-based format. If not, does anyone plan on doing this in the future
if it's possible?

Thanks.

There are a variety of GUI's being actively developed for R.

More information is here:

I don't use it actively, but I might specifically suggest that you
review John Fox' R Commander:

It is written in tcl/tk, which makes it cross-platform compatible if
that is an issue for you.
