[R] tseries (get.hist.quote)

[Christian Schulz]

Hi,
i really positive surprised when i found the  "get.hist.quote"   but 
didn't now
why i get with the examples from Online-Help  errorMessages.

Perhaps their is a problem with POSIX and my OS WIN2000/R1.5.1 ?

Thanks for advance & regards,Christian
