Thanks for the reply.

Yes, you are quite correct, but:
Warning in install.packages("rJava") :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using

The downloaded packages are in

install.packages('C;\Users\Stephen\AppData\Local/Temp/Rtmpcy0hAb\downloaded_
$
Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting "C;\U"
So, obviously, at this point I am attempting something that R does not like.

There is a semi-colon in that path above that looks wrong. You might  
first want to check that all your PATH entries are recorded properly.

That's true.  However, Java is installed on the machine.

The installation instructions ask for the Java Development Kit, "JDK". 
 From the messages below, that's not installed.
