[Rd] How is the environment variable "R_USER" defined?

[Bill Dunlap]

Is your C:\Users\yourname\Documents linked to OneDrive (either by your
choice or by some administrator setting a group policy)?  If so, ou could
unlink it using OneDrive's settings dialog.   Or you could set R_USER to
avoid using ...\Documents.
