Dear Ted,
Try this:

# Working directory  -- files are located here
setwd("C:\\200209")

# Names of the files
Files<-c(
   paste("BA02090",c(2:6,9),".txt",sep=""),
   paste("BA0209",c(10:13,16:20,23:27,30),".txt",sep=""),
   "GMAS0209.txt","MAST0209.txt"
     )

Files

# Reading the files into R
Reads<-sapply(Files,function(x) read.table(x,header=TRUE)) # you can change
this ;)
Reads

Note that "Reads" will be a list which each component represents one of the
".txt" files listed in "Files".

See ?setwd, ?sapply, ?paste and ?read.table for more details.

HTH,

Jorge
