Hello, If you want to do it, you can add "R.exe" in you "Path" variable. Go to "Advanced System Settings", then "Environment Variables". But I'm not sure whether it is the best way to use R under Windows.

For beginners under Windows, running RGui.exe is advisable. I would in addition
advise you to set your working directory appropriately (using the menus or
setwd) before embarking on significant explorations; avoid using the default
save workspace feature (save explicitly if at all); and avoid the use of the
"attach" and "detach" functions. Keep a text editor open to
build a complete sequence of commands to do your analysis... copy/paste to test
each line. A repeatable script means you don't really need to save your
workspace at all.

Thank you all, I tried adding to the path variable ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\R.exe I then entered r.exe --help at the Windows Command Prompt I received the same error message: "r.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" I tried many variations or r.exe --help all with the same response. I then tried adding to the path variable: ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\Rterm.exe I receive the same error message when I enter r.exe --help and its derivatives at the Windows Command Prompt. Any other ideas? Thanks w -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Help-from-DOS-Command-Prompt-tp4637557p4637593.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Learn to write messages to R-help, R-help is not Nabble and we need the whole thread quoted, please. 2. Learn to ask for local help. Any local technician can help you on this - rather than spamming Inboxes of several thousand R-help readers. 3. If you post to R-help again, please learn to specify the full information, i.e. a) have you opened a new Windows command shell after you set the PATH? b) What does "echo %PATH%" return? So please read *and follow* the posting guide.
