Hi all!
 I am newcomer to R and I am loborating on this problem:

How do I import data from a CD into R for further evaluation. 
Using code "newgotcha  <- read.table("e:\\asciiwin\\gotcha.dat") " returmns a list containing an additional column with indices. The command "plot (gotcha)" gives the expected plot. However, the line hist(gotcha) returns the message "Error in hist.default(newgotcha) : `x' must be numeric". 

How can I get the data in an accessible from  into R.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Andreas
