Dear Jeff, thanks ever so much for your comment. Please excuse me, but is it really not an R question?? well, my IT support team at the lab said it is not an informatics question either, so what shall I do? Complain to my boss because they don't "speak" R?. I found information for an R function(?) called Rscript in the R utils package that deals with this in some way (that I am not understanding completely), so somehow I think this is not a bad forum to ask.
