I have a batch file to run R commands in a text file and an output file that I use. 
 
"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64\R.exe" CMD BATCH    "C:\Users\Frank\Documents\R\Scripts\TLT_2012.txt" "C:\Users\Frank\Documents\R\Scripts\TLT_2012.out"
PAUSE 
 
I worked in an environment that you had to fully specify a path, hence

 "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64\R.exe"
 
which I continue as a personal "best practices."
 
TLT_2012.txt starts with
 
colors <- c("red", "blue", "darkgreen", "gold", "black")
labels <- c("8/11/2011","11/3/2011", "2/28/2012", "5/9/2012")
pdf("C:\\Users\\Frank\\Documents\\R\\Scripts\\TLT_2012.pdf")
.
.
.
 
TLT_2012.out contains the R output and in particular the errors and warnings. I always consult the .out file first since I usually have errors :).
 
Best,
