Hi, Wayne.

It is not prudent to move things from 2.12 to 2.13 Library, as these
packages are built against a different version of R.  The packages that come
with R are stored in the system default library location.  You can use
".Library" to see where the system library is, if I recall.  You do not need
to move those into your ~/Library/R... location; R will find things in both
places.
