[R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time

[John C Frain]

I find that some packages, that I need, do not always work with the
latest version of R.  For that reason I always keep earlier versions
of R and the relevant old packages and run it in parallel with the
latest version.  I use Tinn-R and use the RSetReg.exe from the
relevant bin directory to change default R for Tinn-R.

Best Regards

John
