Dear All,

I am a new user for splus, I have a question in reading data, my data is
separated by tab, the variables in header is separated by single space, I
use 
>insur<-read.table("insurS1.dat", header=T)
>names(insur)
[1] "BIPPrem"  "BIFreq"   "BILoss"   "PDPPrem"  "PDFreq"   "PDLoss"  
 [7] "PIPPrem"  "PIFreq"   "PILoss"   "UMPPrem"  "UMFreq"   "UMLoss"  
[13] "CLPPrem"  "CLFreq"   "CLLoss"   "CMPPrem"  "CMFreq"   "CMLoss"  
[19] "FAccM"    "NFAccM"   "FAccV"    "NFAccV"   "VDenM"    "VDenV"   
[25] "HospCost" "PhyCost"  "Crime"    "RepairP"  "RepairL"  "RepairT" 
[31] "BILaw"    "AttCap"   "PopSqMI"  "Income"   "DispInc"  "Limit65" 
[37] "RateLaw"  "LiabLaw"  "SeatLaw" 

We can see the object insur doesn't include the No. 40 variable "State", I
can not figure out what's going on there. Can anybody give me a help?

Thanks for your time.
