EXCEL FILE

Those are the defaults... read.csv(file='foo.csv') should do. Use
header=FALSE if the header is absent. Notice also that in some
locales, CSV files have "," for decimal separator and ";" for the
value. That's where read.csv2 is relevant.

This will save me some typing...
and also I goofed with the orginal specification:

                ^^^^^                       Should have (unnecessarily :) written "sep=','" rather 
than the
syntax error inducing "sep','"
