Start up the PBSadmb GUI for controlling and running AD Model Builder.
admb(prefix="", wdf="admbWin.txt", pathfile="ADpaths.txt")
string name prefix of the ADMB project (e.g., "vonb").
string name of the window description file that creates the GUI.
string name of 2-column text file that details the
relevant paths for the R variables admbpath, gccpath, and editor.
Do not call your pathfile="ADopts.txt" unless you want to tempt fate.

The pathfile has now replaced the optfile, which no longer
exists as an argument. The pathfile identifies valid paths, which are
passed to the options manager.
Additionally, the user can change whichever path settings s/he wishes in the GUI.
The package still recognizes the file ADopts.txt, which has been
demoted to a back-up file that will be saved only when the user pushes the
Save button on the first tab in the GUI.
If ADopts.txt exists and the options file .PBSadmb is not
available (i.e. NULL), then ADopts.txt will be used on start up
to populate the GUI.
