Thanks, I have found the problem. It is *far* less extensive than you
claimed, affecting only a couple of menu items.
The problem is the C-level function consolecmd, which was passing Unicode
characters to storekey. That used to be correct, but the changes made by
the Japanese to incorporate their IME had inter alia broken consolecmd in
non-Latin-1 single byte locales.
This looks like the explanation for the vague problem reported with the
script editor, which uses consolecmd to submit commands (whereas the pager
does not).
Note that those file choice dialog boxes are only intended to work in the
native encoding, so you can only choose a file name in Russian in a
Russian version of Windows. That made tracking this down more than a
little tedious.

Thanks for the attention.
So my windows locale is Russian (Cyrillic, Win-1251). I installed
R-2.8.0-win32.exe. I've got a
file with Cyrillic letters in its name, for example "C:\жжж.txt". When I try to
open it from R
menu "File->Source R code ..." it produces an error:
source("C:\\666.txt")
Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) :
cannot open file 'C:\666.txt': No such file or directory
the Cyrillic letters "жжж" in this case are somehow replaced with "666"

There are literally tens of different ways to 'open files' in R, and
some at least with Cyrillic file names. Nor is there any obvious
difference between 2.8.0 and 2.7.2 patched.

Freshly installed version 2.7.2 works well, but 2.8.0 can't open files
with
russian letters in its names. In error messages the letters are
replaced with
different symbols.
