David,

Your request is frequently posted to S-NEWS.  Here's one solution from a 
previous posting:


Many thanks to Chuck Taylor of Mathsoft for a rapid, and effective, 
solution, which is as follows:

1. Quit the S+ session.
2. Delete the summary files, "__sum41.txt", "__sum4.txt", and "__sum4.tx_", 
from each of the following directories:

\splus4\user\Dorazio\_data  (that is, my working directory) 
\splus4\splus\_dataset
\splus4\splus\_functio

3. Restart a new S+ session to recreate the files named in #2.


Hope this helps,

This is a revision of a previous message which I sent out by mistake without 
a subject header.

"mortalty.003" is a directory that I am trying to attach to the search path. 
There is, as far as I know, nothing new in the directory; I have done this 
attachment many times before without any problem.  The text it is trying to 
read, __sum4.txt, is apparently some housekeeping file that Splus maintains 
in the directory.
