Encodings valid only in rwading files? The following give identical output
files.

"ascii" <-

# 
The encoding vector is used to map the input from a file or pipe
                                            ^^^^^ 
     to the platform's native character set.  Supplied examples are
     `native.enc' as well as `MacRoman', `WinAnsi' and `ISOLatin1',
     whose actual encoding is platform-dependent.  Missing characters
     are mapped to a space in these encodings.

Please don't send bug reports without reading every single line in the
help page.  See the R FAQ for the definition of a bug: this should have 
been sent as a question to R-help, where we could have pointed you to the 
help page.

Probably you meant 1.6.2?
