Although it could easily be "user error", I never got Rpy or Rpy2 working an
any sort of reliable way.
However I did learn a couple of things about the Windows PATH
First, (as others have mentioned) it's easiest to modify the PATH through
the Windows GUI that comes up when you right click "My Computer", and then
you can modify the "Environmental Variables" somewhere.
Second, here are examples of the syntax for adding things to the PATH from a
DOS command line
path = %PATH%;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin
path = %PATH%;C:\Rtools\bin
path = %PATH%;C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin
path = %PATH%;C:\Rtools\perl\bin
set R_HOME = C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\
Third, I found this R command useful for checking the path from within R:
Sys.getenv()[['PATH']]
