R help - May 2011 - Gui immediately closes when started from command-line

Hello,

I want to run an r script that contains code for a gui (rgtk) on the command 
line (windows 2000, 32 bits) using R2.10.1, but the Gui disappears a few 
miliseconds after I started the program. What switch should I use to prevent 
this? I tried r.exe, rterm.exe and rscript.exe with various combinations of 
switches, but none of them works.
 
TIA
Cheers!!

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public 
order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the
Romans ever done for us?

I had a problem similar to this I think. Though I cannot remember the 
symptoms.
Something to to with the lack of possible interaction with the console 
as I was using R as a backend to a Qt interface.

To solve the problem I used the flag: '--ess'
(using '--vanilla' is also a good idea)

(cf Appendix B:Invoking R, in one of the R manuals)

Hope this helps.

Jonathan.
