Dirk would know this better, but to pass *command line* arguments,

?commandArgs

> commandArgs()
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\R\\rw1091\\bin\\Rgui.exe"

and there's quite a bit in the R-help archives about this

However it seem's you asking about passing 'extra' arguments to source() *in
the GUI*

Arguments to what? Where are they being plugged in, assuming you have them?

I fiddled with ideas like

mysource<- function(x,...) source(x,...)

with no immediate success
