Hi! As per Thomas' advice, I upgraded R by using "update.packages()" and got the following warning messages: Warning messages: 1: installation of package 'lmtest' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 2: installation of package 'quadprog' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 3: installation of package 'cluster' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, 4: installation of package 'tseries' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(update[, "Package"], instlib, contriburl = contriburl, Do I need to worry about these messages? Do I need to do something else to complete the upgrade process? Another question: what is the command for renaming an existing variable? Thanks. Deepankar

That was not my advice on how to upgrade. update.packages() updates the packages. You need to download a new version of R itself. You will then need to update or reinstall the packages. The warning messages are because you are updating to versions of the packages that do not run on your old version of R. -thomas

Another question: what is the command for renaming an existing variable?
e.g. if the variable is in data frame names(your.data)[position.of.old.column.name] <- "new.column.name" BTW, reading et least some docummentation could help you a lot with these issues. HTH Petr
