Hi, A number of people have suggested "I read the manuals"... Could someone help me by telling me where the primary start point is please? For example, I am interested in writing functions with variable number of arguments - where should I start to look? "An introduction to R" only show a brief example - with no pointer to where to find further data. I can't do ?xxx from R console in most cases - as I don't know what the function name is that I am looking for!!! People have helped me find "substitute" to get some metadata out - BUT how could I have found that without guidance from nice people in Nabble? Any help on this very much appreciated.
