Hi Val,

I am not sure what it is that you are trying to do.
"read.table"
Is not used to open an R script, but to open a data file.
You will also need to give the extension of the file when using the command
(someone please correct me if I am wrong).

If you wish to open an R script, I would just use the GUI menu and use:
"file -> open script" and find your script to open.

Good luck,
Tal
