[R-SIG-Mac] paste data into R

[Don MacQueen]

Another option, that I personally prefer, is read.xls(), from a 
package whose name I don't have available at the moment. Might be 
'foreign'.

I have used it only when the data in the spreadsheet starts in the 
upper left-hand cell (A1), but in that case it works very well.
