I recently took "." off my PATH for security reasons and now find
that R does not work in my home directory where the .Renviron
file resides.

The fix is simple.  In the R shell startup section replace
". .Renviron" by ". ./.Renviron".  The relevant section is:

# Startup
if ${USE_R_ENVIRON}; then # use the one in current dir, or default
  if [ -r .Renviron ]
  then . ./.Renviron      # <<-- change
  else [ -r ${R_ENVIRON} ] && . ${R_ENVIRON}
  fi
fi
