[ESS] R-help under Windows incorrect characters

 Hi,

I am using Vincent Goulet's Windows port of emacs/ess, with R-2.10.0. The help pages (text help) now have a \221 or \222 instead of a ', which makes it difficult to read the help. For instance, from ?log:

R-2.9.0

 'log' computes logarithms, by default natural logarithms,  'log10'
     computes common (i.e., base 10) logarithms, and 'log2' computes
     binary (i.e., base 2) logarithms. The general form 'log(x, base)'
     computes logarithms with base 'base'.

R-2.10.0

  \221log\222 computes logarithms, by default natural logarithms,  \221log10\222
     computes common (i.e., base 10) logarithms, and \221log2\222 computes
     binary (i.e., base 2) logarithms. The general form \221log(x, base)\222
     computes logarithms with base \221base\222.

Is this a setting I don't know about?

TIA,

Jim
