Hi,
I am trying to use the R command "system" under windows (XP). If I
try the simple command system("mkdir toto") to create a directory
toto, it tells me that it cannot find the command mkdir...
Does anybody knows how it works ? Is it a path problem ? Maybe the answer is
simple: I am a R user under Unix/Linux and I don't know well R under
windows.
Thanks !
Aurelie
