It's a little hard to tell exactly what the problem is. If each of the
command files pl1.r, etc. works individually, this looks to me like it
should work. It might help to know what the command files contain and what
was the nature of the error. Your experimental DOS batch file must have had
a specific name -- I assume something.bat. You are trying to run the DOS
batch file at the DOS command prompt, aren't you -- not from the R console?

You need to attach packages in the command file just as you would if you
were working interactively -- e.g., by including the command library(quantreg).
I hope that this helps,
John
