[Rd] Incorrect Import by Data for CSV File

Good day,

The data function can import a variety of file formats, one of them being C.S.V. Problematically, all of the table columns are collapsed into a single data frame column. This occurs because "files ending .csv or .CSV are read using read.table(..., header = TRUE, sep = ";", as.is=FALSE)". I suggest that the semi-colon used as the column separator be changed to a comma.
