Summary [R] R 1.9.0, special characters in variable names.
Summary: The locale setting in the operating system seems to be involved in what confused me a little bit. Thank you all for your help, especially the suggested work-around data.frame(..., check.names=F) which works very well. A mystery still to be solved is why two versions of R, running on the same machine on the same time, behaves differently. Please do not respond to this on the list. I very much welcome you not to respond at all.

This is not what I would call a summary. A summary should: 1. State the original question. 2. Give a pre'cis of the responses.
