[R] change working directory [was: (no subject)]

[Spencer Graves]

      'help.search("working directory")' identifies "getwd", the help 
file for which describes "setwd". 

      Similarly, "www.r-project.org" -> search -> "R site search" for 
"working directory" produced 564 hits.  I checked the first 4, and they 
all mentioned either getwd or setwd. 

      hope this helps.
