[R] Simple numeric "as.is" question

I am reading a list of numbers from my clipboard, and have been 
successful, except I can't make a histogram as R doesn't recognize my 
variable as numeric.  I know I need to use "as.is", but the specifics 
escape me. 

I have used x<-read.table("clipboard", header=F) to import from a txt 
file.  How do make this numeric?  Thanks, J.
