[Rd] RGui Startup Error on Win2000 (PR#3084)

[Girish Zambre]

Joaquin,

In case you don't already know, this problem that you and I had  in R-1.7.0
with tseries does not occur in R-1.7.1 .

BTW,  a real stupid question : is there a line command that can change the
file directory ( unix analogue would be "cd") in Rgui.exe ?  I change
directories using the item under the "File" menu right now, but that's a
real pain.

Thanks,

GB Zambre
