Description

RShell currently accepts Taverna lists only if they can be converted to R vectors. It would be useful to also accept a Taverna list of R-expr's, and convert this to an R list.
i.e. where input port x is a Taverna list containing R-expr's: rexp1, rexp2, rexp3
create an R variable with value list(eval(parse(rexp1)), eval(parse(rexp2)), eval(parse(rexp3)))
This would be useful where Taverna's implicit iteration has been used to generate the R-expr's, since there is no way currently to combine/reduce the output using RShell.
For example, generate multiple results using implicit iteration, obtaining a Taverna list of multiple R-expressions. Now plot the values from all these R-expressions in a single graph
