driving R from MATLAB

I am trying to use R functions from my MATLAB code using a DCOM server.

I am trying to perform survival analysis, using Surv 

Surv(recruTime,recur)

Surv creates a somewhat complex output and I get the response

Problem evaluating command source(
"s:\\R&D\\matlab\\repository\\personalfolders\\moshe\\colon\\rcut.r").

Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception: Object is static; operation not
allowed 

I am not using it with Matlab, but quite extensively with C#. The somewhat
strange error message you noted "Object is static" has always been an error in
the script.     

When I am sure that the script works Ok when run separately, it frequently has
to do with the current directory being different when run with RDCOM and from
GUI. Therefore I explicitly set the working directory at the top of all scripts,
or get is from an environment string.

The most helpful tool is a character device in my application that outputs the R
string directly, so I immediately see what the cryptic "Object is static" means.
