The following worked for me:

edit(vignette("grobs",package="grid"),editor="notepad")

Sys.info() returns:

                     sysname                      release
                   "Windows"                      "7 x64"
                     version                     nodename

                    "x86-64"                "john.mckown"
                        user               effective_user
               "john.mckown"                "john.mckown"

Apparently there is some option, called editor?, which neither of us
has set. And I guess Rstudio doesn't have a default.
