[R-sig-Geo] spgrass6 with cygwin

[Duncan Golicher]

Can spgrass6 work with cygwin? I am trying to use grass 6 on a windows 
laptop instead of my old grass5.7. but can't find how to get stuff into R.
I admit to not exactly following what is meant by "R is assumed to be 
running within GRASS" 
I used to open grass, set the region then use, for example

set.cygwinstring("c/cygwin")
GRASS.connect(TRUE,gisdbase="c:/cygwin/Duncan",loc="altos",mapset="SCLC")
G<-gmeta()
d<-rast.get(G,c("dem","slope")

but I can't find the equivalent with spgrass6.

Thanks for any advice,

Duncan
