[R] obvious answer

[Graham Smith]

I apologise for this question, as I'm sure the answer has got to be 
obvious, but I am trying to follow the John Maindonald tutorial and have 
stumbled at the first page. 

I have sussed out that I need to use the source command rather than the 
read.table command as illustrated in the tutorial, but the data isn't 
reading in properly with additional names at the beginning and end of the 
data. $value and $visible. I am obviously missing something here and would 
appreciate some help on what I'm doing wrong.

Many thanks,

Graham S
