[R] R: website address for the pseuso-XLS files

[(Ted Harding)]

It is OpenOffice 2.0 (as updated to openoffice.org-core,
dfsg.2-7etch9 Sat Jan 16 2010) running on Linux (Debian Etch,
originally installed Sept 2007), so none of it is particularly
recent. The command to view the files is like:

  oocalc Prostatic_Neoplasm-miRNAs.DiseaseTargets.xls
