Is this an appropriate place to email my questions regarding affy?

I have used the function "file" to retrieve a CEL file from by Windows platform C drive.  

x<-file(description="C:\ etc")

However, when using ReadAffy, my generated file appears to read as a symbol.

data<-ReadAffy(x)

Error message: VECTOR_ELT() can only be applied to a 'list' not a 'symbol'

Also, I cannot find documentation on VECTOR_ELT().  I have looked in read.affybatch in R documentation.

Do I need an argument which will convince ReadAffy that x is indeed a list and not a symbol?
Would a widget help?

Many thanks,
Guy Tillinghast, MD
