Running R 2.5.1 on WinXP with Tinn-R, and using Sweave via MikTex.

I am having trouble with the code below:


-------------------------------------------------------
<<lowerCI95>>=
lowerCI95713 <- t.test(data713, alternative="greater")
lowerCI95713.bound <- lowerCI95713$conf.int[1]
@

Thus a lower 95\% confidence bound on the mean octane concentration is
\Sexpr{lowerCI95713.bound}.

<<ttest>>=
t.test713 <- t.test(data713, mu=87, alternative="greater")
p.value <- t.test713$p.value
@

---------------------------------------------------------


When I Sweave and then pdflatex the files, the output pdf file contains
the verbatim text:

"Thus a lower 95% confidence bound on the mean octane concentration is
lowerCI95713.bound."

That is, LaTeX is not recognizing and processing \Sexpr.  When I look at
my .tex file in an editor with LaTeX syntax highlighting, I see that
LaTeX is interpreting everything between the two $ in the original code
(one before conf.int and one before p.value) as a math environment.  I
think that's why the \Sexpr is not getting processed into the single
number as it should.

Any ideas how to make this work?  The $ is the only way I know how to
access components of R objects.

Thank you.
