Sorry, I guess I got that from the error message you originally reported, which was "Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") : [tcl] bad Macintosh file type "“*”"." I've never seen that error and it seems peculiar that it would occur on a Windows system.

These packages seem up-to-date.

OK, so you tried the setup that works for me and, I assume from the lack of similar error reports, for others.

A plain-text data file could, e.g., be created from an Excel file by exporting a worksheet as a .csv (comma-separated-values) file; you could read this into the Rcmdr via Data > Import data > from text file, specifying the field separator as commas.

I'm curious to see what happens.
