When I typed the above command, nothing happened.
When I pulled down affylmGUI command from the R pull down menu
(it had been previously loaded) I got the error message


	Error message: Error in eval(expr,envir,enclos):Object "plot
	Options" not found.

The associated screen message when I got this is

> local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
> affylmGUI()

Searching for user-defined affylmGUI commands in
C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2010/library/affylmGUI/etc ...


The results of the sessionInfo command was:

I then followed the affylmGUI worked example:

File->New

I got a box that said

"Choose working directory"


I chose the directory which contained my files.

I clicked "okay"

I got a box that said:

"Please select a tab-delimited file listing the CEL files.

No filename is selected at the moment. Press the Select Targets File
Button."

I did and got a list of files.


I clicked "estrogen" (I can send the file as an attachement if
that might help).


I got a box that read

"Targets File

C:\Program Files\R\rw2010\library\estrogen\extdata\estrogen.txt

I clicked "OK" on that box


I got a box that said

"Data Set Name

Please eneter a name for this data set "

I clicked

entered

Estrogen

and clicked "OK"

The title on the status window now reads "Estrogen" instead of "untitled"

I clicked on Raw Affy Data

and it said available.

I clciked on Normalized Affy Data
and Linear Model Fit, and both  said "unavailable'.

I clicked on RNATargets and table containing the target file was
displayed. It corresponded to what I had read in.

I closed the table

>From the plot menu, I chose "Intensity Density Plot"

A box appeared that said: Please Sepcify: Choose a slide.
I chose "Abs10.1" and clicked "OK".

I got a menu that read

Probe set

PM probes

MM probes

Both

I left it at "PM Probes and clicked OK".

It said

Plot Title: PM Intensity distribution for Abs 10.1

X axis Label: log2(PM Intensity)

Y Axis Label: Density

I left it as is And clicked OK.

I got an error message

Error in approx(xords,kords,x): need at least two non-NA values to
interpolate.

I clicked OK

Then I got an error message that said

Error in title(plotTitle): plot.new has not been called yet.

I clicked OK.

I did not see PM Intensity display as in the affylmGUI worked example.


I hope that this is sufficient detail to let someone who reads this
figure out what is worng. I greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks and best wishes.
Rich
