One way that works for lazy people like me is to use file.choose(). 1) Type in "file.choose()" without the quotes and hit <enter> 2) Navigate to the folder and file that you want and click on it. 3) R will show you the complete path to your file.
An even easier way is to do something like this: my.stuff <- read.csv(file.choose(), ... and then navigate to your file. Charles Annis, P.E.
