[R] Opening a .R file with R (Windows)

[Petr PIKAL]

Hi

One workaround in Windows

You shall have SendTo folder located somewhere in system (depending on 
Windows version). Put a shortcut to R programme in that folder. Than you 
can click with right mouse button on *.r file, select send to and choose 
appropriate shortcut (in that case R) but you can use it for other 
programs too.

Regards
Petr
