The relevant paragraph is below. But I need lower level instructions. Where
can I find them.
Follow the link. If Windows can't find tar, your toolset is installed
incorrectly.

R CMD INSTALL works in Windows to install source packages if you have the
source-code package files (option “Source Package Installation Files” in the
installer) and toolset (see The Windows
toolset<file:///C:/Program%20Files/R/R-2.9.1/doc/manual/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset>)
installed. Installation of binary packages must be done by install.packages
. R CMD INSTALL --help will tell you the current options under Windows
(which differ from those on a Unix-alike): in particular there is a choice
of the types of documentation to be installed.

See the manual "R Installation and Administration" for information on how
to install source packages on Windows.

After issuing tar xvfz RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gzI am getting an error
message
'tar' is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Should I use my 7-zip to open up the archive?
Where should I be doing this? For instance can I do it all in my
download directory or should I do it in C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.9.0\library or should I manually create C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.9.0\library\RGoogleDocs and do it all there or will the Rcmd
INSTALL RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz command do that for me.
Yes, you assumed correctly. I am using Windows XP.

I have haven't neen following this thread but:
1. if RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz is a source distribution (as
opposed to built source) then the first line renames it so
that its not the same name as the built file about to be created.
The second line detars it into the RGoogleDocs directory. The third
builds
the built source file, RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz. The fourth
installs the built source file into R. I've assumed Windows.
If you are on Linux replace rename with mv.
rename RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gz
tar xvfz RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gz
Rcmd build RGoogleDocs
Rcmd INSTALL RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz
or
2. if RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz is already a built source file then you
can just issue the last of the above lines and don't need
the others.

What do you mean by "cd the.directory.containing.RGoogleDocs"
Do you mean the directory where I downloaded the
RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz
to? Or do you mean that I must create a directory called RGoogleDocs
under
Library and then change to that directory?

Finally enter into the Windows console:
cd the.directory.containing.RGoogleDocs
Rcmd build RGoogleDocs
Rcmd INSTALL RGoogleDocs_1.0.0.tar.gz
except replace RGoogleDocs_1.0.0.tar.gz with the filename
created by the build.
