Hi David, Often on a Mac you can "right click" (or on a laptop--press down with two fingers), and a pop-up will give you the option to "Copy File Path". (You can also find this option in a Finder window under the "Finder -> Services" menu bar) .This is the path you should use to import your file into R.
There's also a R-Help mailing list for Mac users (R-SIG-Mac): https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac HTH, Bill. W.
