[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit

[BR_email]

To _ALL_ who helped me.
In the final analysis, I was doing everything correctly, as per the 
manuals, the links, and the books I bought.
However, in all the material, it never read mention of creating of the 
.Rprofile file
with a programmer/developer text editor, which allows for no extension, 
no R, no txt.

You guys drilled down, and hit solid gold for me,
which lead to my understanding the issue, at least as I see it.

Pure GOLD Medal team work.
Again, I truly thank you.
Bruce
