Filing the response on R-bugs.
It's quite possible that uninstalling R will damage this, but I would have
expected it to be removed entirely.

Your expectation was correct - adding "%1" to the open command fixes
the problem.
I think it might have happened because I installed the new
version before uninstalling the old version - although the files were
still associated with the new version so it's a bit odd that it was
just the second part of the open command that was wrong. However, I
didn't have the problem on my home computer (WinXP) when I uninstalled
the old version first so I expect that's where I went wrong.
Thanks for the fix,
Heather
