title: Call R at the command line with default options
body: <p>Currently if I try to call R directly from the command line I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ R
  Fatal error: you must specify '--save', '--no-save' or '--vanilla'
  
  $ which R
  /c/R/R-3.3.1/bin/R
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Windows does anyone have a way to easily call R so that it executes with one of the options automatically? Basically I want to avoid typing <code>--no-save</code> every time I start R (or every time one of my scripts starts R).</p>
  
  <p>This is a helpful post for setting the PATH variable and setting up R, but I didn't see the answer there: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10077689/r-cmd-on-windows-7-error-r-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-comm">R CMD on Windows 7 Error - &quot;R&quot; is not recognized as an internal or external command,</a></p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Turns out this is an issue with <code>mysys32</code>. <code>R</code> works in the Windows terminal, it appears to call <code>R --save</code>.  </p>
