Jorge,

My understanding about sas.get is that it actually runs SAS in the
backend, output the SAS data, and then import it into R again.

It might be better to convert SAS to csv format and read it into R.
I am running R 2.0.1 on Windows trying to import a SAS dataset into R
using sas.get.

It is a small SAS dataset, but when I write the command, the SAS window
opens but never appears to complete.  Am I doing something wrong?

Here is an example of my command:

temp <- sas.get("J:/blah","name")

He has SAS running locally.
It might be better to convert SAS to csv format and read it into R.
For that, the Hmisc package's sasxport.get(..., method='csv'...) can help.
