[R] waning msg when R is launched

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You haven't given us the 'minimal information' the posting guide asks for. 
Let's guess you are using a Chinese locale on Windows, in which case you 
cannot use readChar to read non-ASCII data (as the message says).

If so, it looks like this occurs when loading a saved workspace, and is 
just a warning that will not be important if the workspace is properly 
saved.
