Dear John, Very many thanks. Your hypothesis was completely correct - I did save the workspace, and this is what created the problem. As a newbie, being part way through an "exercise", saving my workspace intuitively seemed the right thing to do. Clearly not! So now, before I closed R and Rcmdr, I copied and pasted from Rcmdr's script file into a MS Word document, added a few comments (with preceding #), and then closed without otherwise saving R's script, output, workspace or markdown. I hope this is reasonable practice. If not, I would be grateful for guidance on this. Once again, very many thanks. Joyaa
A potentially useful piece of advise is to avoid using MSWord as a text editor. I don't use Rcmdr, but text files, particularly CSVs are extremely useful in R as data files. Scripts should be pure text as well. Word demands that you keep this in mind at all times. It won't default to a simple text mode. You can use notepad, which MS provides as a stopgap, though I would recommend a more capable programmer's text editor such as Notepad++, a very useful GPL-licensed text editor for Windows, which can be downloaded for free.
