The help file tells me to use the --max-mem-size command line flag but it's still not clear to me how I shoud do this...what's the difference between a "command line flag" and a command?

I am trying to increase the memory size in R (windows version), but have truble in understanding how to do it.
Easiest fix is to use version 1.2 or higher (latest is 1.2.2). Then this becomes irrelevant to the user. Cheers Jason Turner

Starting R from the command line ("DOS window") using the mentioned
command line flag means for example:
c:\> c:\program files\rw1022\bin\rgui.exe --max-mem-size=256M
You might want to create a shortcut, so you don't have to type it in
every time.
Please read the rw-FAQs.
Uwe Ligges
BTW: If you don't have installed more than 256M of RAM, it makes not
much sense to increase the max-mem-size, because your machine will begin
swapping ...
