Richard,
There are usually several methods available - depending on the class of the object you apply 'hist' on.
In this case two are 'non-visible'
######
methods(hist)
[1] hist.Date* hist.default hist.POSIXt*
Non-visible functions are asterisked ######
Probably you are interested in hist.default
######
hist.default
function (x, breaks = "Sturges", freq = NULL, probability = !freq, include.lowest = TRUE, right = TRUE, density = NULL, angle = 45, col = NULL, border = NULL, main = paste ... snip ... } else r } <environment: namespace:graphics>

Subject: [R] Inspecting R functions
In S-Plus, I can look at the structure of a function (for example, hist) simply by entering
hist <RETURN>
however, if I do this in R, I get the response
function (x, ...)
UseMethod("hist")
<environment: namespace:graphics>
How can I inspect the structure of a function in R?
