[R] RWin 1.2.1: Can't access sample datasets, e.g. MASS

[Akio Sone]

I encountered the same problem.  However, after I added a command line
option such as -q or --verbose, I could read sample datasets of MASS
package; more specifically, I changed the target box of the Rgui shortcut

from
	C:\R\rw\bin\Rgui.exe
 to
	C:\R\rw\bin\Rgui.exe -q
