using R under windows

Dear Bill,

I am used to using R under unix. I have a problem with R under Windows-2000:
Suppose I have a is a plain text file code.r full of R code that I want to
source into R. My problem is that Windows invisibly tacks ".txt" onto the
end of the filename (the name looks like code.r but it is really
code.r.txt). How to get windows to both allow me to call it code.r (for
real! Not code.r.txt) and to edit it as a text file by default (say with
Notepad)?

When saving the file under Notepad, change the file type to "All files" so 
that Notepad doesn't screw with the extension. Alternatively, you could use 
a better editor, such as WinEdt or Emacs (there's information on the R 
website at <http://cran.r-project.org/other-software.html>).

Regards,
  John
