Hi David,

It seems that the problem here is in the ascii package.  It is inserting
an empty line at the beginning of your table, so that the table is not
snugly sitting under the #+results foo tag, because of this the table
isn't seen as results and is not replaced -- if you delete that space
then re-run the code block you'll notice that the table is replaced.

Org-mode is very capable of inserting tabular data into Org-mode
documents without using the ascii package.  For example the following
would be a more idiomatic example of using Org-mode to create a table
from R code.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src R
  numbers <- matrix(c(51,43,22,92,28,21,68,22,9),ncol=3,byrow=TRUE)
  numbers
#+end_src

#+results:
| 51 | 43 | 22 |
| 92 | 28 | 21 |
| 68 | 22 |  9 |

#+begin_src R :colnames yes
  numbers <- matrix(c(51,43,22,92,28,21,68,22,9),ncol=3,byrow=TRUE)
  numbers
#+end_src

#+results:
| V1 | V2 | V3 |
|----+----+----|
| 51 | 43 | 22 |
| 92 | 28 | 21 |
| 68 | 22 |  9 |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

or applied to your example, the following code block should generate the
desired results.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+srcname: foo
#+begin_src R :session *R*
  head(esoph)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

One last small note: the "replace" argument to :results is normally the
default value, and doesn't need to be explicitly added (although I can
see why you would have added it in this case since it wasn't working as
expected).

Cheers -- Eric
