R help - Oct 1999 - Xgobi

I have been trying to get Xgobi to work with the function xgobi( ), but
I keep on getting the message ""Xgobi requires a filename or some data
from stdin" in the DOS-shell. My Xgobi.bat file is :

@echo off
 PATH=c:\windows\
set DISPLAY=195.23.18.11:0.0
set XGOBIDIR=c:/Xgobi3
c:\Xgobi3\xgobi.exe

In R I get:
> xgobi(D1)
C:\RW0642/library/xgobi/scripts/xgobi.bat -vtitle 'D1' -dev 2 -std mmx
C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/xgobi18467


I am running Xgobi on the MIX X server on Windows95. Do you know how I
can get Xgobi to accept any of my data.frames? Xgobi runs well on the
flea example found in the Xgobi package.
Also, if the path of the data file is placed after c:\Xgobi3\xgobi.exe,
then Xgobi will work with this file.

Thanks


Peter

I've half forgotten all about *.bat programming, but shouldn't your
xgobi.bat  in the last line  __pass__ the arguments that the batch script
got, i.e.  in Unix shell (instead of bat language),
the last line would be something like
     c:\Xgobi3\xgobi.exe $*
