I found a very simple way: you start winbugs from R and state: debug=TRUE, start maybe with few iterations, like 10. If everything goes fine, open a new & empty "odc" document in winbugs. Now scan the log file and find something like this:
update(10) coda(*,C:/DOKUME~1/Frederic/LOKALE~1/Temp/Rtmp0Ey62L/coda) stats(*) history(*,C:/DOKUME~1/Frederic/LOKALE~1/Temp/Rtmp0Ey62L/history.odc) save(C:/DOKUME~1/Frederic/LOKALE~1/Temp/Rtmp0Ey62L/log.odc) save(C:/DOKUME~1/Frederic/LOKALE~1/Temp/Rtmp0Ey62L/log.txt) copy all the lines (found in this order but interrupted by output) into the new document. Then start the document as script (model-> script). The only important thing, however, is only the line "coda...", the update() can be filled with howmany iterations you like. On you go and, when you close winbugs, all the output should be read in by R2winbugs into the R-object you indicated.
