I'd like to report another instance...one of my students has had the exact
same error.  I've checked the data, at it is a clean .csv file, with no
quotation marks at all. I am currently at a loss at how to figure out what
might be going wrong.

Dear Doug,

Can you send me the file, along with information about the versions of the
Rcmdr and R that you're using, and your OS? I suspect that the problem
doesn't have to do with the file, but with the command that the Rcmdr is
generating to read it, so some additional information would also be helpful,
such as the path to the file. In fact, if you could send a read.table() or
read.cvd() command that works to read the file, that might provide the clue
I need.

Regards,
 John

Dear Doug,

Here's my guess: the path to your file has an apostrophe in it -- I'm able
to duplicate the error in this case. If that's the case, then a work-around
would be to move the file. Meanwhile, I'll look into fixing the problem.

Regards,
 John
