I must recognize that to set PATH keeps being a mystery for me.

How could I print out the PATH R is using? In a terminal:

sh-3.2# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.1.0-M1/bin
sh-3.2#

sh-3.2# find . -name tar
./Applications/Fetch.app/Contents/Frameworks/StuffItCore.framework/Versions/A/Plug-Ins/tar.bundle/Contents/MacOS/tar
./Applications/StuffIt 11/StuffIt 
Expander.app/Contents/Frameworks/StuffItCore.framework/Versions/A/Plug-Ins/tar.bundle/Contents/MacOS/tar
./System/Library/Tcl/tcllib1.8/tar
./usr/bin/tar
./usr/share/ant/docs/javadocs/org/apache/tools/tar

No GUI, just R Console.

Thanks for your help,

Ricardo
