I read that in the following PDF when I was searching for differences 
between Windows R and Mac R batch mode use (I got Windows 7 on my Mac):

I was curious why you used Rterm.exe and not R.exe.

Checking out your stcmd.ado package now...

I unfortunately am a poor benighted Windows 7 user, and, when I install a new version of R on my system, it automatically installs it in a new folder with a new name. So, I always have to change my profile.do, and my TextPad External Tools settings, whenever I update R. I will look around for a way of changing this.
