There are several R GUIs, if I understand your question correctly.

http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/

We've discussed several of these in the past here.

I would look through these forums for these two tools:

JGR
http://jgr.markushelbig.org/JGR.html

Rkward
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Main_Page

But, you also need to understand that while these two tools will get you away form the "terminal"; R is fundamentally a programming language for data analysis. It is not SPSS. At this time, front-ends for R are mostly fancy text editors.

I'd second RKward, that works well. But note that R is a command-line language, whether you use it through the terminal or another piece of software is fundamentally irrelevant - you still end up learning and typing the same code. Some GUIs just make it easier to do that by providing menu options.

If you don't want to deal with code at all, use an alternative like SPSS (or PSPP).

I'd recommend ess http://ess.r-project.org/ :) But its even more of a front end for writing code, than earlier suggestions ...
