Do you means a short-cut for terminal or for desktop ?
On terminal create (or edit) the file ~/.bash_aliases and add

MyAlias='cd /home/satimis/RedR/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Red-R/canvas/;python red-RCanvas.pyw'

After that you have to log out and in again to load that environment, or simply do (on terminal) #source .bashrc
