I've written a simple script that does some surveillance analysis on daily 
counts of walk-in clinic visits, for our county health department. (Actually, 
Michael Hohle's surveillance package does all the work; I just customized it a 
little to work with the way our data are recorded.) The output consists of a 
graph and a little table.

My colleague will run it once in a while, on continuously updated data. She 
knows nothing about R, at least not yet. I want to make it as simple as 
possible. Rather than have her open R and type source("filename"), I want to be 
able to put an icon on her WinXP desktop, so that when she double-clicks it, R 
will open, run the script, and up pops the graph.

I've been trying to learn about R CMD BATCH, playing with the dialogue boxes 
for WinXP desktop shortcuts, etc, but no luck so far. I guess I don't know 
enough about Windows.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?  Thanks.
