 I've tested following in my win32-vista-box

 - installed nightly build WinGRASS-7.0.SVN-r46330-1-Setup.exe

 - copied the batch-files from http://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/ into
 C:\Program Files\GRASS 7.0.SVN\extrabin

 - started "GRASS 7.0.SVN with MSYS" by the desktop-shortcut

 - in the windows-command-line of "GRASS 7.0.SVN with MSYS" it's possible
 to start a R-session within a Grass-session (recognizing all Grass-
 environment-variables) by typing ''cmd R.bat''

 - in the windows-command-line of "GRASS 7.0.SVN with MSYS" it's possible
 to start a R-GUI-session within a Grass-session (recognizing all Grass-
 environment-variables) by typing ''cmd Rgui.bat''


 so I '''strongly recommend''' using the bat-files from
 http://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/ for a smoothly
 WinGrass-R-integration.


 the bat-files are gpl'ed, so there's maybe no problem to include them in
 an wingrass-selfinstaller?

 after some tweaking (i.e. starting from the wxgui, ...), this would be a
 great and an all-time improvement coupling wonderfull GIS- and
 (geo-)statistic- software in the windows environment.
