Thanks. As I’ve said elsewhere, I thought I had seen in something I read that
those double backslashes were required in a Mac.

Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] I'm new to R in a Mac. How do I specify the path in
read.table()?
Just use forward slashes, backslashes is a Windows thing. I.e.
read.table("/Users/DFP/Desktop/Monroe319Ecoli.txt")
should do it. A generic trick is
x <- file.choose()
dd <- read.table(x)
(and then possible have a look at x)
