[R] explination

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

You've posted in the wrong mailing list.

1. You've downloaded R version 2.15.0 but the current version is 3.0.2. 
You should update to the current version.
2. As for the manual, in your directory of R, probably C:\PROGRA~1\R you 
will find a folder named 'doc\manual'. The manual you are looking for is 
the PDF file R-intro.pdf.

As for the other questions they should be asked to your teacher, not to 
R-Help. But the error message you got means R (RGui ?) cannot find the 
file test.txt is the current directory. To see the current directory and 
the files there, at the R prompt type

getwd()
list.files()  # all files
list.files(pattern = "*.txt")


If it's RGui that you are using, in the File menu, there's an option 
Change dir. Use it to navigate to the directory where test.txt is. 
(Assuming you have that file on disk, which I don't really believe you do.)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
