[R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Sorry, I don't use Windows... can't help there.

It's customary to keep cc'ing the list on these sorts of things so
someone with a more similar platform/ more expertise can take the
issue up if needed. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out.
