The tutorial looks perfect now in Firefox on Fedora Core 7.

BTW, I have confirmed on the R-devel list that the R engine is expecting 
\n for EOL, and \r will cause a syntax error, on all platforms. I will 
probably fix this by simply replacing \r with \n in PL/R functions. My 
only reservation is whether this might cause issues for installations 
with multibyte characters. Does anyone know if it is possible for 
multibyte characters to include a byte = 13 (\r), i.e. is the simple 
replacement of \r safe in all locales?

Thanks,

Joe
