R devel - Feb 2004 - R CMD versus Rcmd

I've just committed changes to R-devel (to become 1.9.0) to allow
scripts to be invoked using the Unix-style "R CMD command" in Windows.
"Rcmd command" will still work, but is no longer documented.

A build incorporating these changes should show up on CRAN tomorrow.

Running "R" by itself will start Rterm.exe.  You still run Rgui to get
the GUI version (or just click on the shortcut).

Very nice -- my Cygwin-ish scripts will then work at home without changes.

Is it possible to spawn Rgui from R(term)?  For consistency, 
"R --gui=$something", maybe R --gui=windows, would be nice.
