[R] Unwanted unicode - solved

[Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D.]

Thanks to all.  The suggestion below by Marc Schwarz (the second I tried) showed the 
problem.  One of the references in one of the files had been pasted in and had a funky 
dash in its "111-196" page number.  It looked just fine in my emacs window so I hadn't 
picked it up.  There are 90 .Rd files so this saved me substantial time.
