No reply in a number of hours, so here is a suggestion from ignorance :-}

?Startup refers to a number of other "site and user files to process for setting environment variables" but not to Rcmd_environ. The contents of $R_HOME/etc/Rcmd_environ seem to reflect (some of) the contents of (some) other files.

I have similar lines (defining library paths) in
    $R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site

Is it correct to directly edit Rcmd_environ or should it be modified only via other files? (A genuine question).

Is there a fundamental reason why I cannot set either one of

in $R_HOME/etc/Rcmd_environ even though I can seemingly set other things here?

It breaks "R CMD check" for me as I prefer NOT to install packages in a
versioned path.

FWIW, defaulting to a versioned path is (to this no-longer-bemused user) as
much a permenent R bug (on Windoze) as the default installation into a path
with spaces.
