Thanks. The file didn't exist at the time I tried "edit", and that
was my error.

Make sure you are in the right directory; you can also use the full
path names. It is basically saying it can not find the file. Do
'list.files()' to see what is addressable in whatever directory you
are in.

Can anyone help me with the following attempt to use an external

I have only recently re-started trying to learn R. (I tried before
but
failed.)
I am working with a Mac MacOsX 10.4.11. I have R 2.7.1 GUI 1.25
(5166) which
is the Cocoa version of R.
I have been reading Peter Dalgaard's book, which is very helpful,
and I have
not met any errors so far, so I don't understand why I should
suddenly hit
this one.
Since "edit" and "vi" appear to be in the utils package, I did
library(utils)
to which I got a null response.
I have searched the R-help-archives for the error message, and
have not
found it.
I suppose I could use the function source(), but I haven't tried
this.
Thanks for any help
