Do you mean `commented' rather than `documented' (i.e., having a help page)?
If so, I believe the only guaranteed way of doing that is by getting the
package _source_ (i.e., the .tar.gz file) from CRAN and read the file in the
R/ subdirectory after unpacking.  This has nothing to do with
hardware/software platform.

.rda files are really only readable by R, regardless of platform, and R on
Windows doesn't behave differently than on other OS in this respect.
