[R] Running R from windows command prompt

Subject: Re: [R] Running R from windows command prompt

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!
-------------------
Actually, you can 'cut and paste' from at Windows Cmd prompt.  It is done by 
clicking the
C: icon in the upper left of the command window, choosing edit, and 'copy' 
or 'paste'
as desired.
