Hi Jon,
Thank you for your reply. I have difficulties to get SPSS 16 works with R.
Although your solution might work, I did not manage to get it. I always get
errors with the X device (screen output) when I call R from SPSS 16. I will
switch to the last version of SPSS which provide full support of R.
Regards,
Michael
