[R] Running script with double-click

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Note that if you use Rterm.bat in http://batchfiles.googlecode.com in
place of Rterm.exe then you won't have to adjust the Run action when
you upgrade R.  Rterm.bat is a single self contained Windows batch
file that you simply place on your Windows path.
