I don't run windows, but rumor has it that the e-texteditor is  
supposed to support TextMate bundles. So, since TextMate has bundles  
to support *.R, *.Rnw, *.Rd files, I would imagine the e editor could  
work, too:

Editor:
http://www.e-texteditor.com/

Getting more bundles:
http://e-texteditor.com/wiki/index.php/Bundles#How_To_Get_More_Bundles

You'll see several R bundles here (for TextMate, which should  
theoretically work for you)
http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/

I suspect this would be the one you want:
http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/R.tmbundle/

Hope that helps,
-steve
