[R] Problem with invoking R from the command line (Windows Vista)

[Camster]

Dear all

I am running in a problem when trying to run R from Windows command line.
I am runnning Windows Vista, R-2.10.1. 

I have a script I would like to run remotely from another program. As it did
not work, I thought I would test the script from the Windows command line
which highlighted a problem. 
When I open the command line and type R at the prompt (or any other variant
(R CMD BATCH, Rgui.exe or Rterm.exe), I get the error message: 
"'Rscript' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

if I move to the R directory (cd usr\R\R-2.10.1\bin), and try running the
script ( R < "myscript.R" --vanilla) 
 it works fine. 
I thought the problem may come from the environment variables (tried
specifying explicit location of R.exe), but this did not solve the problem.
I also re-install R but that did not help either.

I cannot think of anything else. 
I have read the R installation and rwfaq notes, and look through the posts
but I cannot find any suggestion on how to fix the bug.

If anyone can suggest anything, that will be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Camille

PS: I am also running R on another machine (Windows XP) and I don't have a
similar problem!
