I said use lme, *not* aov and lme. Note, though, that the advice applied
to multistrata unbalanced anova, and this appears to be a two-way layout in
one stratum. You can use aov for that. (You can't use lme unless there are
two or more strata.) Just be careful how you interpret the output: in SAS
parlance aov gives you `Type I' sums of squares.
The reason why this is more difficult in R is that R unlike SPSS does not
guess which of the many possible interpretations you mean. We would need
to know a lot more about the actual statistical problem to tell you what
would be a good analysis in R.
Maybe you should look at a textbook designed for use with S/R not SPSS?
