A better resolution of what, please?

That appears to refer to the bitmap device, and the help says

  the full path to the executable can be set by the environment variable 
  'R_GSCMD'.

Please read the rw-FAQ about how to set an environment variable: it is 
described there.

However, that sets the path and not the resolution, which is an argument.
