R help - Feb 2009 - error using R Commander for text file import

I am getting the following error on  iMac running Mac OS 10.5.6; this occurs
whenever I try to import a text file into R Commander:

Error in splitCmd(command) : unbalanced quotes

Thus, I am unable to import data into R Commander. Any suggestions as to how I
might fix this error? I have gotten it many times with more than one
installation of R 2.8.1 on this computer.

So can you tell us exactly what you did and what the resulting code in 
the code windows was and how the data file looks like? Does it contain 
unbalanced quotes, for example?
