I want to use an R block to manipulate data from an org table, but I'm not
getting what I expect. 

If I define a table like this:

  #+NAME: data
  |   A |   B |  C |
  |-----+-----+----|
  | 115 |  76 | 60 |
  | 124 |  78 | 55 |
  | 118 |  73 | 65 |
  | 114 |  75 | 61 |
  | 108 |  74 | 82 |

and pass it into R like this:

  #+BEGIN_SRC R :results output :exports both :session :var data.table=data
  names(data.table)
  head(data.table)
  #+END_SRC

I expect to get a table with three columns ("A", "B", and C"), but instead I
seem to get a single column named "A.B.C":

  #+RESULTS:
  : [1] "A.B.C"
  :       A.B.C
  : 1 115 76 60
  : 2 124 78 55
  : 3 118 73 65
  : 4 114 75 61
  : 5 108 74 82


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Michael Gauland
