I have just installed R 3.0.3 on Windows 7.
I open up the GUI and type setwd("c:/users/jon") and press return.
Nothing
happens, Ive tried manuals, forums etc ...
An ex-student needs help using this program. I spent 7 years as an IT
consultant before becoming a maths teacher so Im better than average with
IT and I cant get it to do anything at all. What's up? Any help greatly
appreciated.

Hello, And what are you expecting the command "setwd" to do?

Did you get such a prompt before typing setwd("...")? What does typing 5:2 cause R to do?
