But that's the beauty of it -- even in Windoze, the $R_HOME/library/$FOO/R/
directory for a package $FOO contains simple text code which you can edit.

If you know how to read and write S source code, I may take you only about
one minute to locate the file, and insert the suggested dQuote().

If you organise your work environment wel, operating systems matter less and

you insist on using OS-specific features).
