Hi all --

   I tried loading a data file with the following command:

> data = read.table("filename.txt", header = TRUE, sep = ",")

This appeared to work fine, except it silently skipped 400 records (out of 1200). It turns out, some of the text fields included quotes, and I needed to use 'quote = ""'.
Why wasn't there an error message? Is there some way to enable one?
