[Rd] #Rscript error on Windows 7 operating system

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is not really about R, is it?  Few of us will have any idea what 
'#Rscript' is (it is not part of R), and the mention of JGR suggests 
that the third-party Java interface is involved (and that has its own 
mailing lists).

Nor would R-help be appropriate: please ask the authors of #Rscript 
for help (and see the R posting guide, which asked you to do that 
first).
