Weird.  Did you install in C:\Program Files\R\rw1090\?  On my XP machine,
it did, and rterm is valid.  The above works from a command prompt,
provided I wrap the executable path and name in quotes.  Failing that, is
it a corrupt binary install?

Here's the md5 of my (working) R-1.9.0, downloaded from CRAN (NOT the
patched version, and not built by me)

C:\Program Files\R\rw1090\bin> md5sum.exe Rterm.exe
2565cd848bbd86b964624a0490352da2 *Rterm.exe

Inside R: setwd("your/path/here")  With the usual warning about using "/"
slashes, or "\\" slashes (doubled).  I just stick with "/".
