Click on the .R file (e.g., beams.R) to open it, then save to a file in your working directory, and use source() to input the file to the R workspace. [You can of course save the file to anywhere convenient, but then you will need to include the filename path along with the filename when you source the file.] Alternatively, right click on the file (e.g., beams.R or beams.RData), and use the "Download Linked File As ..." menu item to save to a file in your workshpace. Use, e.g., source("beams.R") or load("beams.RData") to place the dataset in your workspace. John Maindonald Dec 3, 2010.
