Just to follow this up. Changing the document encoding in Lyx from the default (whatever that was) to utf8 (with some help from Jay) allowed some sample"recode" code to run (it wouldn't run initially), but my original code still won't run.
Strangely looking at the Latex code window in Lyx shows some strange syntax highlighting in my code cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,"'X2001'... The code is higlighted between the $ signs and I wonder if this suggests there are still some sort of encoding problem.
