[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit

[William Dunlap]

I believe someone already mentioned it, but notepad makes it hard to
save a file without the ".txt" extension to its name.  R does not do
anything with .Rprofile.txt, only .Rprofile, so you must figure out a
way to work around notepad's mangling of the file name.
