R help - Apr 2009 - Basic doubts on the use of several script files in R batch mode

I already searched for information regarding the batch file operations  
within R. But I could not locate the information I need.

Basically I have a doubt regarding the procedures on the batch use of  
several script files (*.R).
How can I do this?
How can I define the order of files?

My intention is to programme openings, math operations and savings of  
*.Rdata sessions, but in a sequential manner.

Thanks in advance,

$ cat file1 file2 file3 > R --vanilla --no-save
# Of course, file3 should call save.image() at some convenient place

Another, slightly more "correct" solution would be a batch job doing
the
relevant R CMD BATCH invocations

See also the littler package, which allows to use R as a shell language.
I don't know zilch about it ...

Create a "master" file that 'source's the required *.R files
and then
does any of the pre/post processing that you want.
