I'm about to commit a fix to this  "age old" typo,
using "R-squared" in both cases as Jeff suggests,
unless some R-corer tells me I should not.

Yes, indeed, two *.Rout.save files need to be replaced too,
but I don't think that this --- and the fact that the output in many
books will eventually be "wrong" by a difference of 
      ' "r" - "R" '
would be good enough reason to keep this inconsistency.

Ok?
Martin
