	it looks like R.pl hangs on waiting input from the R executable,
	as R.pl has n't changed in a long while (not by me at any rate),
	it is likely that recent R versions spew out things differently to how older versions did.
        the mode of operation of R.pl is that it starts an R process as a slave
        reading/writing from/to it via the io streams.

	I think R.pl should come with a warning that there is a more 
	modern package available.

	are you aware of pack(real) ? 

	you can install with 

	?- pack_install( real ).

	?- pack_rebuild( real ).

        test with
        
         ?- [pack(real/examples/for_real)].
         ?- edit( pack(real/examples/for_real) ).
         ?- for_real.
