Also you can avoid setting environment variables for R by grabbing
Rcmd.bat from http://batchfiles.googlecode.com and placing it anywhere
on your path -- note: entering the one word, path, from the Windows
cmd line shows you your path.

Rcmd.bat looks up R in the registry and then passes its arguments to
the real Rcmd.
