R help - Jul 2008 - Reproducibility and GUIs

For a paper on "Reproducible Econometric Research,"  Achim Zeileis  
and I would be interested
	in hearing from anyone with (positive) experience and/or suggestions  
about GUI-based data
	analysis from a reproducibility perspective.   We omitted coverage of  
this topic in an initial
	draft on the well-known principle:  if you can't say something nice,  
say nothing at all,"  but have
	now been encouraged add something since "point and click interfaces  
are the preferred interface
	for many applied researchers."  Reference to literature and/or  
software that address this issue
	would be especially welcome.

	I'll be happy to summarize, bowdlerize and anonymize as you wish if  
you would like to write
	privately.  If you would like to see the current version of this  
paper, it is available from:

	Thanks,
	R
