[R] microsoft proxy & R project

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Please do read the R posting guide and supply essential information such 
as your OS (and not send HTML mail).

If you are using Windows, see the rw-FAQ Q2.19.  Note that R never asks 
you for `an active directory login/password': it may *if you ask it to* 
ask for proxy identification.  Quite likely it is your local system and 
not R which is asking, and you need to seek local advice.

So how do you 'manage' when 'it doesn't work'?
