I'm new to R, and using version 1.8.0 on Windows XP, under emacs/ess.
I'm trying to test some simple output flow using functions in the Hmisc
package and hit an error that may be a more general problem than just my
specific situation.
If I issue the command
latex(describe(mtcars), file = ??)
I get what looks like good TeX code output to the console.
However, if I issue the command
