[R] Hmisc latex() does not want to work

[John Kane]

Thank Frank,  

I simply seem to have misread part of the first
example
-------------------------------------------------- 
x <- matrix(1:6, nrow=2,
dimnames=list(c('a','b'),c('c','d','enLine 2')))
## Not run: 
latex(x)   # creates x.tex in working directory
w <- latex(x, file='/tmp/my.tex')
---------------------------------------------
latex(x) gave an error 
latex(x, file="") works fine.
