If the correct path to R is not included, you will need to edit it (the PATH environment variable). I do not know a way to permanently edit it from the command prompt but it is easy and there are many guides online for how to do it through the control panel or the PowerShell.

The simple way to do it just for the command prompt is to write a little 
batch file setpath.bat containing

set PATH=newstuff;%PATH%

and then run cmd with

CMD /K setpath.bat
