and click on TABLE to view in a form well suited to

[HTML] [TABLE].
The first row of the TABLE gives the names of the variables,
with fields:
- FIPS.STATE: 09 = CT
- FIPS.COUNTY90: 03 = Hartford County
- FIPS.COUSUB90: town code
- STUB.GEO: town name
- P0010001: total population for town

- P0080004: Asian, ...
- P0080005: other

The fields of the table are separated by commas. Read into Splus using
$population <- read.table("file-name",header=T, sep=",")
where you should replace file-name by the name of the file
in which you save the TABLE as text.
