Also, the Windows environment variable for the current user’s
home (profile root) directory is USERPROFILE. If you issue a command like CD
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop you will change to the current user’s desktop. You can
do the same thing with the copy command:
COPY <SOURCEPATH>\<SOURCEFILE> %USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP
Or
COPY <SOURCEPATH>\<SOURCEFILE> %USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\<DESTINATIONFILE> (if you
want to rename the file).

Normally the default path is c:\user\username
At this point I would just copy the file like this
R:>COPY filename.txt c:desktop\filename.txt
Another way would be
R:>COPY filename.txt c:\user\username\desktop\filename.txt
Hope this helps

How do you send a file to desktop in Rbase. I know you can output c:\whatever,
but what is the command to send to desktop
