So far I have figured out that the following line 
reads our time series files into R OK. 
dtLs$dta <- read.table("C:/TryRRead/datFiles/JFeqfi4h.rta", header = TRUE,
sep = ",", colClasses = "character")
But I have to remove a main-title line so 
that the first line is the column titles line.
This leads to having two sets of data files around when 
we would rather have just one set. 
How can I read just one line from the file to
get the main title in before using the read.table() call?
