Der JWD, Dear Jeff Newmiller,
Many thanks for your useful advice. JWD - I have notepad++ and I don't
know why I didn't think of that! Having said that, I will take a look at
RStudio that John mentions too.
Thanks again. Much appreciated. Joyaa

Dear John,
Very many thanks. Your hypothesis was completely correct - I did
save the workspace, and this is what created the problem. As a
newbie, being part way through an "exercise", saving my workspace
intuitively seemed the right thing to do. Clearly not! So now,
before I closed R and Rcmdr, I copied and pasted from Rcmdr's script
file into a MS Word document, added a few comments (with preceding
#), and then closed without otherwise saving R's script, output,
workspace or markdown. I hope this is reasonable practice. If not, I
would be grateful for guidance on this.
Once again, very many thanks. Joyaa
A potentially useful piece of advise is to avoid using MSWord as a text
editor. I don't use Rcmdr, but text files, particularly CSVs are
extremely useful in R as data files. Scripts should be pure text as
well. Word demands that you keep this in mind at all times. It won't
default to a simple text mode. You can use notepad, which MS provides
as a stopgap, though I would recommend a more capable programmer's text
editor such as Notepad++, a very useful GPL-licensed text editor for
Windows, which can be downloaded for free.
