[R] R editor vs. Tinn-R

[Farrel Buchinsky]

The only button I pressed was the "send line" button in version 1.19.1.5. I 
changed my command to

prelim<-read.delim(source("clipboard"))

and still got the same problem.
I do not know how to use the source versions of the buttons. Can you please 
tell me more?

Thanks

Farrel
