Hi
Firstly, I've never come across R basic, only R, which is at
www.r-project.org
Is this what you're refering to, (as R can in no way be described as
being basic).
By a terminal application I mean that it is basically a textbased
commandline application, into which you type commands and get text
responses. It can also be run as a GUI which has menus, etc, but I see
no reall advantage of this for a blind user especially as it is possibly
less accessible. For large-scale work in R the best solution is
possibly to write code in a text file and then load it into R.
