Error Message - Error: symbol print-name too long
Duncan, Thank you for your help. I am pleased to say your 'very wild guess' was exactly correct. Can't believe I missed it!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You aren't giving us much to go on, so I can only make a very wild guess. Check that your file doesn't have a stray ` character in it. R will start reading from that point on and try to make this an internal symbol. If it doesn't find the closing ` for too many characters, it gives the error message you see. I have seen this once before and that is what the cause was - a stray ` put in by hitting the ` key rather than Esc. Carl Anderson wrote:
Dear All, I write to ask for information regarding the error message: Error: symbol print-name too long. I am afraid that I can't include any code to help with any further diagnosis of the problem as the code is far too long to be of any use, and I have not been able to re-create the problem in shorter example codes. I have searched the R manual and help pages and found no mention of this error message. All help appreciated, Carl A Anderson.
