[R] Sweaving quotes

The alternative is to tell LaTeX what encoding the file is in.  For 
those using UTF-8 locales this means adding the line

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

Now Murray mentions 'Vista', and so is presumably using cp1252 (the 
Western-European-language Windows default).  That is spported by 
inputenc, so try

\usepackage[cp1252]{inputenc}

In either case, the LaTeX font used may or may not have directional 
quotes -- since this is an issue for the R manuals, see our 
documentation for ways around this (such as package ae).
