[R] shell command

[Ross Darnell]

Using R (version 0.63.3) for MS windows, I try the following command

> shell(paste("cd ",getenv("RHOME"),sep=""))

which replies with an error message 

Too many parameters - FILES\RW0633  

which appears to suggest that the space if the path name is causing 
difficulties to the cd command. getenv returns

> getenv("RHOME")
                      RHOME 
"C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\RW0633" 

Can someone suggest a way of dealing with this.
