Dear all,

I am a new mac user and an inexperienced R user, now using the latter on the
former!

On running the R.app on my Macbook Pro with OS X Snowleopard, warnings about
non UTF-8 locale showed up.

>You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work.
>Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system
preferences accordingly.

As per the R for Mac OS X FAQ as well as this (
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-October/005395.html) post, I
ran the following in the app.

> defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
> Error: unexpected symbol in "defaults write"

Could somebody help with this?

Regards,
Prashanth
