As a new user I was running A sample session from Appendix A of An
Introduction to R. 'mm<-read.table("morley.tab")' failed. Note that the
prior command, 'file.show("morley.tab")', succeeded. Problem does NOT occur in
version rm161.

This is a known bug introduced in R 1.6.2 and it is cross-platform (see PR#2469 as Brian pointed out).

I'll provide a patch for this soon.

NO other bug reports seem relevant.
Contents of my window follow, then contents of 'R.bug.report' follows that.

If nothing happens, you have to open ` Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS

bug.report()

Error in system(call, intern) :
 The function "system" is not implemented on Macintosh
