[R] dos command line

[Hartley, Stacey A]

You can, indeed, do this.  My coworker showed me how.  Rename the filename you
want to run from the dos command line to ".Rprofile" and voila, you may type
Rterm .Rprofile at the command line and the file will run.  Actually, you only
need to type Rterm at the command line, as it will automatically source in
.Rprofile. The only requirement is to be in the same directory.  Obviously, be
careful in the future to keep directories separate if you don't want that
particular file running automatically every time you call R.

Hope this helps others out there!

There is no port of R to DOS, and R does not run from the DOS command
line.  It does run from the Windows command prompt, and there I think you
are looking for Rterm --no-save < filename.

Looking in the rw-FAQ would have saved your sanity: it's in Q2.7.

You can also do this sort of thing in other shells, e.g. tcsh and bash
under Windows.
