Thanks Erik, almost worked! I am a mac user and for some reason View worked
perfectly for my PC using friend, but
doesn't for me.
When I tried:
> mat=matrix(1:10,ncol=2)
> mat
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 6
[2,] 2 7
[3,] 3 8
[4,] 4 9
[5,] 5 10
> View(mat)
I get no error message, but nothing happens (besides spinning ball of death)
and I have to force quit R. I tried
a couple different variations but still no success with using View.
Suggestions?
