Thanks to all. The suggestion below by Marc Schwarz (the second I tried) showed the problem. One of the references in one of the files had been pasted in and had a funky dash in its "111-196" page number. It looked just fine in my emacs window so I hadn't picked it up. There are 90 .Rd files so this saved me substantial time.

Terry,

One possible option:

   require(tools)

   sapply(list.files(path = “Path/To/Your/RD/Files", pattern = ".Rd"),
          showNonASCIIfile)

See ?list.files and ?showNonASCIIfile

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
