   Hi: Here's my revised attempt at explaining my problem. Hopefully it won't
   get sent out weirdly like it did earlier. Â  The link to what I'm trying to
   follow is
   http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/stuff_for_blog/AlanRPackageTutorial.pdf
   Â I've been going through the tutorial but when I got to page 9 and did
   R CMD SHLIB Xdemo.cc Xdemo_main.cc -o Xdemo.dll
   I got the following error:
   XDemo_res.rc:15:38: warning: missing terminating " character
   XDemo_res.rc:23:34: warning: missing terminating ' character
   c:\mark\research\Rtools\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: XDemo_res.rc:16: syntax error
   Then XDemo_res.rc file that gets created is below. I'm using Windows ans R
   2.8.1.  I'd really like to make this work so I can continue my learning
   experience. It's a very nice example that I could really learn a lot from.
   Thanks a lot for any help/enlightenment.
