R help - Oct 2005 - batch file execution

I am new to R and really like to get a handle of basics in short period of
time. What I am trying to do is get myself a list of must-do's (read in
data, batch execution, delimiters, basic modeling commands) in R as in Stata
or SAS. I am just wondering how to execute a R batch file in RGui. Suppose I
have a script file (like do file in stata, or sas file in SAS) under
c:\whatever.R, how can I execute it using commands (not drop down menu) in
RGui? In stata, would be something like
 do c:\whatever.do
 How about in R. I tried the "R CMD BATCH('h:/whatever.R'), but it
didn't
work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if we have set the path of R to the   Environment Variables,things will be much
convenient.

from  Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->
Environment Variables

Now we are the Environment Variables window, we will only need to pay attention
to the lower window for  System variables. Click on the Path Variable and then
click on Edit... Add ;"path\of\R" to the path.(for me,the path of R is
E:\Program Files\R\R-2.2.0\bin),note that each path is seperate by ";"
and the path itself is not quoted by "".

then
1,run cmd (start--run and type cmd then hit enter);
2,in the Windows shell,type  R CMD BATCH infile [outfile]
