That was painless. I had already installed Rtools and had already put it on
my path.

Your line worked very well. [Thanks for telling me. However I did it last
time was worse than sticking daggers in my eyes. ]
 install.packages( "RGoogleDocs", repos="http://www.omegahat.org/R",
type="source"
)

I now have
Package: RGoogleDocs
Version: 0.4-0
Title:....
....
Maintainer: Duncan Temple Lang <duncan@wald.ucdavis.edu>
Packaged: 2009-10-27 22:10:22 UTC; duncan
Built: R 2.10.0; ; 2009-11-25 20:59:03 UTC; windows

I am providing the following link to a copy of my RGoogleDocs zipped
directory. It is for people who run R in windows and do not want to go
through the pain of setting things up so that they can install source.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23200/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs.zip

I BELIEVE that if one downloads the zip and extracts it to an empty
directory called RGoogleDocs in one's Library directory then everything will
work. Please let me know.
