Ed, you probably know this but if the directory as given by getwd() is "C:/Users/mybringback/Documents", making the sub-directory named "mbb_py" the working directory only requires you to run

setwd("mbb_py")

R will automatically understand that this is in the current working directory.

In order to view the content of the current working directory, Ed rightly used the command:

dir()

It is also possible to use:

list.files()

It's always good to have options :)
