Summary of Forcing variables types when using read.table

Thanks to Martyn Plummer and Vele Samak for taking the time to answer my
problem. scan certainly will do the trick. However, having taken a look at the
code for read.table, it seems to me that I might be able to add in a "what"
argument and then just pass it down to the call to scan. But that won't be
today's project . . .
