[R] FW: Re: linux batch question

[markleeds at verizon.net]

Hi Phil: That's EXACTLY what it is. Thanks so much. It's nice to know 
that the R Gods don't hate me. I hope it's okay that I'm going to cc 
r-help
in case this thread comes up in the future and also so that other people 
who might want to help know that it's solved. Thanks again.
