R help - Jun 2010 - Reading file

I am trying to read a source program into a mac pro laptop, which uses  
Snow Leopard.  R is unable to find the file containing my source  
program.  I'm using the function  source(" file name").  I need
some
examples or detailed instructions.  I have no problem reading the file  
using PC.

Have you set the correct working directory?

?setwd
?getwd

Just drag the file from a Finder window to the console to get the full  
path name.

A cross-platform solution would be file.choose()
