Thanks a ton for your help.  Now I'm totally 
an SDI person.

FYI 
ISO-2002-JP and us all believe in \, which is our 
currency symbol.  We use it in place of a backslash.
For some good reasons, ancient programmers 
assigned the same code in US-ASCII for backslash
to \ in JIS X 0201.
question.
Okay, I understand now.  I don't think that window size is
saved.  I
usually use R in SDI mode (option --sdi on the command
line), so I
don't see that.

If you want to save that window's position, you'll need to
play around
with the R source code (look in src/gnuwin32/rui.c, I
think; or
possibly one of the files in src/gnuwin32/front-ends).  I
think it's
easier to switch to SDI mode!

-----------
One option to consider is to start R in "sdi" mode.  My
shortcut for
R-1.8.1 on WinXP is...

"C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin\Rgui.exe" --sdi

Hmmm...  looks like ISO-2002-JP doesn't believe in the
usual backslash.
 Substitute a back-slash for \.

This opens only a console window.  Help and graphics
windows open as
windows of their own, not sub-windows of the GUI.  See if
that helps.
