Hi, Mike.  I was going to object that this was a dangerous approach in my
situation, as I intend to pass the .org file on to someone else after I've
revised it, and there'd be no way to guarantee that "future generations" would
have the same hooks defined.

Nevertheless, I tried inserting ^@ as you suggested and then exporting to
HTML, WITHOUT defining the hooks, just to see what would happen.  The answer
is that the HTML document looked just fine!  (This is with Org-mode version
7.7 on Emacs 23.2.1 on 64-bit linux.)

I don't know if this matters, but I placed the LHS and RHS of the R expression
on different, consecutive lines, as:

    => someVar ==
    =^@"someString"^@=

In HTML these are glommed together anyway.

I really appreciate your suggestion.  And, if anybody asks me, I'll be
recommending you for a MacArthur award.
