Steven, Your error goes away when you write your \deqn{} in one line:
\deqn{\widehat{R_1} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n{c_i/n}}{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n{L_i/n}}} [...] \deqn{\widehat{E} = T\sum\limits_{i=1}^n{\frac{1}{w_{i}}}\sum\limits_{j=1}^m{\frac{e_{ij}}{\pi_{j}}}} The quoted text here still has the silly ^M at the end as I didn't bother converting your files from your somewhat OS-specific encoding. The combination of splitting a \deqn{} over several lines seems to be the issue. You may notice that the Writing R Manual example itself uses the latex trick of a trailing '%' before a line-break. The odd line end convention Windows seems more of a distration than an issue -- and if you work with a suitable editor you won't have to worry about either way.
