It won't display the data on R console


I must run;

yahooImport("IBM", file="IBM.csv", save=T)

to save the file.

list.files(getwd(), full.name=T)

I looked at ?yahooImport and couldn't resolve making it display the stock data
on R console. ?Any advice?


Besides is there a tool to download stock data from Google finance instead of
using their download tool?

TIA
