Hello, All:
Prof. Ripley suggested I remove RTools/perl from my path. I did
that leaving Strawberry perl. Then everything seemed to work
appropriately.
Thanks to all.

I tried "install.packages('gregmisc')", which Stephen said he had.
Then " help(pac=gdata)" seemed to work normally. However, when I then
tried "library(gdata)", I got an error message from the the operating
system, saying "perl.exe has stopped working". I cancelled past that and
got a message "gdata: Unable to load perl libaries needed by read.xls() ...
Run the function 'installXLSXsupport()'". I tried 'installXLSXsupport()'
and again perl stopped working. I quit R and tried
"install.packages('gdata')" again, and it killed perl again.
Before installing 'gregmisc', I had tried install.packages('gdata') by
itself. That seemed to work. Then I manually removed it and tried
'gregmisc', as Stephen had, and got problems I don't know how to solve.

Thanks,
Spencer
