[R-SIG-Mac] I'm new to R in a Mac. How do I specify the path in read.table()?

[Parkhurst, David F.]

I�ve tried for over an hour to figure this out with no luck.  I�ve moved the text file (created from excel) to the desktop to simplify the path.  If I click on the file and ask Get Info, it lists �Where� as  iCloud Drive > Desktop.  If I copy that to the clipboard and paste that into a read.table command in the R interface, it comes up as /Users/DFP/Desktop.  But if I try read.table("\\Users\\DFP\\Desktop\\Monroe319Ecoli.txt"), I get No such file or directory.  How can I get that file into a data frame?
