R help - Aug 2007 - passing args to R CMD BATCH in win 2000

Hello and sorry to bother.

Please help.
I searched the archives but could not find out why --args is being ignored 
on Windows 2000.
I try

R CMD BATCH --slave 11.R 11.Rout --args "12"

and 11.R has

x=commandArgs(trail=T)
print(x)
a=x[length(x)]
write.csv(a,file="13.out")
q("no")


the argument is not passed to the R process.
11.Rout only shows processing time and 13.out does not have the value.


Thank you all.

That does not work with R CMD BATCH, AFAIK. In fact, you want to use:

Rterm --no-save --args "12" < 11.R > 11.Rout

Or Rscript, which is designed for this sort of job.
