[ESS] [External] Re: R transcript file name suffix

[Richard M. Heiberger]

absolutely restore .rt as a valid transcript file name.

.st goes back to at least S-Plus and if my memory serves, to S.
.rt was constructed by analogy.
the .rout and .sout  are excessively verbose, rather recent additions.
Additions, not replacements.
