[ESS] Rterm.exe doesn't exist on my system

[Alasdair McAndrew]

Drat - I found the solution with seconds of pressing "Send"; it was to add

(setq-default inferior-R-program-name "C:/Program
Files/R/R-4.0.5/bin/i386/Rterm.exe")

And so I was wrong: Rterm.exe does indeed exist, just tucked away a bit.
My apologies for wasting your time and bandwidth.  Please do delete both
