R devel - Jan 2005 - running Sweave from Windows XP Explorer

I'd like to create a suitable batch file or shortcut so that I can run
Sweave on a .Rnw or .Rtex
file simply by clicking on the file from Windows Explorer in Windows XP (as I do
with latex,
bibtex etc).  This looks tantalisingly possible using R CMD BATCH or Rterm
possibly in combination
with a .bat file.  Has anyone succeeded is setting it up and would give me a
pointer?

Thanks
Gordon

As a very simple starting *idea*, a batch file could look like, e.g.,

   R CMD BATCH --no-save c:/myscripts/MakeSweave.R
   texi2dvi --pdf %1.tex
   gsview32 %1.pdf


with MakeSweave.R:

   library(tools)
   for(i in list.files(pattern = "\\.Rnw$")) Sweave(i)
