[R] Command Line Expressions

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

The natural thing would be to pack this into script, but
if you in windows do:

echo %1 | Rterm --vanilla -q

you run into the problem that everything after the first comma is 
discarded, unless you use:

echo %~1 | Rterm --vanilla -q

in which case you will have to quote any R-commands with commas in them.
