[R] Sas to R

[Erik Iverson]

Sarah,

This is a SAS question, not R.  However, it seems clear that it
has something to do with the fact that there are spaces in the
command that you're sending to Windows.

Maybe try calling with the 'short directory name' notation,
I forget what that's called in Windows.

Or else follow-up on a SAS list?
