[R] Running R from windows command prompt

[Arun Kumar Saha]

Hi Siddharth, many experts already answered your query, however I
would like to share how I run R in command prompt:

1. open command prompt
2. change working directory: cd C:\................\R-2.13.0\bin\i386
(put the entire path here, however many people might find this step
weird, you can have better management setting window's path variable
appropriately)
3. type R.exe

You can use R within command prompt with same efficiency. However most
awkward thing I find in this process is you can never copy-paste any
code. So everything you need to type there manually!

HTH
