[R] Rcmd

[Bob Wheeler]

How do I say this politely? Thanks, for your
thought, but it isn't that simple.

The executable Rcmd.exe is not reading its command
line. I have no problem accessing it -- it just
isn't working the way I expect. I don't think its
my setup since other programs, such as Rgui take
command line input properly.
