There is also a little bug in the "windows help" to read.table(.):
Usage
read.table(file, header = FALSE, sep = "", dec = ".", quote = "'",
^^^ must
be: "\"'"
and both of
read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote="",
read.csv2(file, header = TRUE, sep = ";", quote="", dec=",",
^^ must be: "\""
Looks like a general problem with a backslashes in "winhelp" (?).
Which system of help, and if text help which pager? (I'm not on Windows here to check, but the text file looks fine on Unix. My guess is that this a pager bug.)
