[R-SIG-Mac] import data Mac OS

[Timothy Bates]

You can also drop the path directly into R.app: just hold down the option key when you drop a file into the console

I  usually just type:

twinData        = read.spss("", use.value.labels=T, to.data.frame=T, max.value.labels=Inf, trim.factor.names=F)

then option-drop the file in between the awaiting empty quotes.
