[R-SIG-Finance] Earliest available data on yahoo to download

[R_help Help]

Sorry when I said xts I meant quantmod. Please see my code below. If
you ever use quantmod getSymbols, the code below should be clear to
you. Another package was tseries. Somehow zoo vignette has an example
on it. So I just called it zoo. Regardless of which, the problem is
the same. Thanks.
