Dear R-users,

Some hours ago I successfully installed R 1.7.1 on my Linux computer (SuSE 8.1). Now I am trying to get my scripts work which I have written for R/Windows.

* While with Windows I was able to use the vowels with the accents present in the Hungarian language:

> d$crude.inc<-d$esetszám/d$évközepi.lélekszám*1000000
>

the same line leads to an error on Linux:

> d$crude.inc<-d$esetszám/d$évközepi.lélekszám*1000000
Error: syntax error
>


* This must be a difference in the behaviour of R, not the operating system because the following tests passed (even with a filename!) :


> t<-"évközepi.lélekszám"
> t
[1] "évközepi.lélekszám"


> filename<-"csoportok_lélek_és_esetszámai.csv" > d=read.csv2(filename) >

The special characters are accepted inside strings, but not as names of variables.
Could you tell me what to set in R to make it accept these special characters as names?


Thank you,

Gábor
