[R] special characters

[BORGULYA Gábor]

Dear R-users,

Some hours ago I successfully installed R 1.7.1 on my Linux computer 
(SuSE 8.1). Now I am trying to get my scripts work which I have written 
for R/Windows.

* While with Windows I was able to use the vowels with the accents 
present in the Hungarian language:

 > d$crude.inc<-d$esetszám/d$évközepi.lélekszám*1000000
 >

the same line leads to an error on Linux:

 > d$crude.inc<-d$esetszám/d$évközepi.lélekszám*1000000
Error: syntax error
 >


* This must be a difference in the behaviour of R, not the operating 
system because the following tests passed (even with a filename!) :

 > t<-"évközepi.lélekszám"
 > t
[1] "évközepi.lélekszám"


 > filename<-"csoportok_lélek_és_esetszámai.csv"
 > d=read.csv2(filename)
 >

The special characters are accepted inside strings, but not as names of 
variables.
Could you tell me what to set in R to make it accept these special 
characters as names?

Thank you,

Gábor
