Answer 2

If you save an R script file instead of inputing your commands into an interactive session, you can also run the following from the command line (on *nix systems):

R --no-save --quiet < /path/to/script.R > /path/to/output.txt

This will create the file "output.txt" and save all input (including comments) and output from the R script into it.
