R help - Apr 2003 - BATCH and tcltk

Hi R-hackers

I try to write a batch (in Windows, i have to use!) with 
Rcmd BATCH D:\Test.R D:\Test.Rout and
Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < D:\Test.R > D:\Test.Rout.

In my file Test.R are any tk-codelines (like: Window1 <- tktoplevel(); ...
tkbutton...).
It works not interactifly, what is written in Rcmd BATCH --help.

Exist there a way to do it all the same?

Please help... Otherwise i have to use Excel to get the GUIs .

(and sorry about my english, it's terrible)

I haven't messed with this on Windows for a while, but it might help
to stick a tkwait.variable("foo") or something like that at the end of
your input script. The thing is to get Tcl's event loop going - R
usually drives it from the keyboard entry loop, but there is none in
batch mode.

Does your batch script include the line  library("tcltk") ?

The syntax for a batch script is exactly the sequence of
commands you would type at the R command line, without an
R prompt character at the beginning of each line.  It's
often much easier to develop and debug a batch script by
working interactively the first time.

Unfortunately, I do not use Windows, so I do not understand
any details of getting tcl/tk to work properly under Windows.

Could you ask a more specific question.
