You probably want from windows GUI:
source("test.R")
To read help to learn about this command type:
?source
at the command prompt. (Similar pattern get help on other commands too -
its an important R skill/habit).
If your are going to do a lot of script development, I would highly
recommend you take a look at RStudio,
http://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/ which is a front end for R that
greatly streamlines script development and use.

Greetings,
I have just downloaded R onto a 64bit PC running Microsoft 7 Home Edition
via Rgui. I have quite a bit of programming experience, though not as a
professional programmer. I am a Measurement and Assessment professional
(standardized testing). I would like to be able to write R scripts, and call
them from the command line in Rgui. After two attempts, I receive the
following error messages
R CMD BATCH test.R
Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD"
Rscript test.R
Error: unexpected symbol in "Rscript test.R"
These commands were taken directly from the R documents found on the
R-project website.
Clearly, I am doing something wrong. The script test.R resides in the R
directory, and includes
24 + 6
and nothing more. The path to test.R is C:\Program Files\R\test.R
Any assistance would be appreciated.
