-On Windows, you can save this file to the directory where you would like to
-start gmkin by right clicking on the link to this file, choose 'save target as'
-or similar, and choose `.Rprofile.` as the name (yes, there are two dots, one in the beginning,
-one in the end). This will lead to the creation of a file named `.Rprofile`
-which will be executed when you start R within this directory, e.g. by creating
-a shortcut that starts R in this directory (see [How do I install R for
-Windows?](http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-install-R-for-Windows_003f),

+`"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.x.y\bin\R.exe" --slave -f c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\gmkin_start.R`,
+where R.x.y is the version of R that you would like to use with gmkin.  This
+will start a non-interactive R console that runs the gmkin GUI. In the
+properties dialogue of the shortcut, you can also set the working directory in
+which it starts gmkin.  Thanks to Jonas Klein of the Umweltbundesamt for the
+trick with using Sys.sleep in a while loop and for suggesting the AppData
+directory for the start script.
