Dear Michael, There was an email thread midst June 2003 on a related issue.
The suggestions made there will certainly help you Have a look for thread "Programcode and data in the same textfile" (just type it into the R Site Search, and the thread will come up). I recall that read.table() has an argument skip which allows the first lines to be skipped, see ?read.table for details. The manual "R Data Import/Export" is very useful as well. Please provide a meaningful subject that makes searching the archives easier.
