Using GRASS and R at the same time (wxpython)

Hello at all
I do my statistical analyses with R. In the old tcltk-GUI I used "Run
(background)" to start R from within the GRASS GUI. Within the new
wxpython-GUI I would like to have the same behaviour, but I do not know
how to manage it. If I run "rgui" in the cmd section, GRASS will not
accept any other command. "rgui&" fails (also "rgui.exe&" and "rgui.exe
&". How can I use GRASS and R at the same time, without freezing of
GRASS during R is running (from within the new wxpython-GUI).
I used the binary installer for windows
(WinGRASS-6.4.0SVN-r39626-1-Setup.exe) on a W2k machine.

AFAIK the wxpython-GUI cmd line is not a true command line.

-> Click on the GRASS msys icon...

This should open the wxGUI along with a cmd line which should support "&".
Please report back to the list if this helps.
